# 1



7m-3m-6=6 Start with the given equation.


4m-6=6 Combine like terms on the left side.


4m=6%2B6 Add 6 to both sides.


4m=12 Combine like terms on the right side.


m=%2812%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate m.


m=3 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is m=3

# 2




2%288%2Bp%29=22 Start with the given equation.


16%2B2p=22 Distribute.


2p=22-16 Subtract 16 from both sides.


2p=6 Combine like terms on the right side.


p=%286%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate p.


p=3 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is p=3
