Gabi tried to solve an equation step by step.

0.1 (0.5m+6) = 2

m=28

Step-by-step explanation:

0.1 (0.5m+6) = 2

Distribute

.05m +.6 = 2

Subtract. 6 from each side

.05m +.6-.6 = 2-.6

.05m = 1.4

Divide each side by. 05

.05m/.05 = 1.4/.05

m = 28

m = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Distribute

0.1 (0.5m + 6) = 2

(0.1 * 0.5m) + (0.1 * 6) = 2

0.05m + 0.6 = 2

Step 2: Subtract 0.6 from both sides

0.05m + 0.6 - 0.6 = 2 - 0.6

0.05m = 1.4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 0.05

0.05m / 0.05 = 1.4 / 0.05

m = 28

Answer: m = 28
