Question 297474
 Explain how you would CHECK that m=2.5 is the correct solution for the equation 5(2m-3)=2(m-2)+5 then show a correct check
----------------------------
Sub 2.5 for m, see if the 2 sides are equal
5(2.5-3) =? 2(2.5-2) + 5
5*-0.5 =? 2*0.5 + 5
-2.5 =? 6  It isnt', so m<>2.5
--------------------------------
5(2m-3)=2(m-2)+5
10m-15 = 2m-4 + 5 = 2m+1
8m-15 = 1
8m = 16
m = 2
------
You can check it as I did.
