SOLUTION: Which of the following equations are equivalent to -2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m? -15m = -4m -7m - 8 = m - 4 -3m - 8 = 4 - m m - 4 = -7m - 8 -8 - 7m = -4 + m -8

SOLUTION: Which of the following equations are equivalent to -2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m? -15m = -4m -7m - 8 = m - 4 -3m - 8 = 4 - m m - 4 = -7m - 8 -8 - 7m = -4 + m -8 - 3

Question 887127: Which of the following equations are equivalent to -2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m?
-15m = -4m
-7m - 8 = m - 4
-3m - 8 = 4 - m
m - 4 = -7m - 8
-8 - 7m = -4 + m
-8 - 3m = 4 - m
I don't understand how to get my chose's its many options i can pick but didn't know how to solve for them .

Just simplify each equation and put into the same format. Comparison will then be easy to do.

Your given equation to start is ;
Solution steps for that

Or even further,
.

Your choices are equations using just m to power 1 and constants. Any which have solution of are equivalent to your given equation.

-2m - 5m - 8 = 3 + (-7) + m =
-7m -8 = -4 +m
equivalent equations are
-7m - 8 = m - 4
m - 4 = -7m - 8
-8 - 7m = -4 + m
