So we're asked to solve the equation and check our solution.
00:03
So we're given this equation, 2 times m minus 3 is equal to negative 4.
00:08
So the first thing i want to do is divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
00:14
I'm going to choose to divide both sides by 2.
00:17
So this is going to turn into 2 and 2.
00:20
So this cancels out with this 2 and negative 4 divided by 2 is negative 2.
00:25
This turns into m minus 3 is equal to negative 2.
00:31
The next thing i'm going to do is add 3 to both sides.
00:37
So it looks like this.
00:39
And negative 2 plus 3, that's positive 1.
00:43
So m is equal to positive 1...
