Question 167646: Solve for m using just the meaning of multiplication and reasoning (no algebraic manipulation)
a) 15 X 13= 9 X 13 + m X 13
b) 16m=8m+32 Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) 15 X 13= 9 X 13 + m X 13 (eliminate the common X13 terms).
15=9+m
15-9=m
6=m
b) 16m=8m+32
2m=m+4
2m=m+m
thus m=4.
