2m + 5 = 10 Therefore, 2m = 5 m = 5/2 m = 2.5
2m - 9 = 12→ 2m - 9 + 9 = 12 + 9→ 2m = 21→ 2m ÷ 2 = 21 ÷ 2→ m = 101/2 = 10.52m - 9 = 12Add 9 to each side of the equation:2m = 21Divide each side by 2 :m = 10.5

To determine if ( m = 7 ) is a solution to the equation ( 2m = 3m + 3 ), substitute ( m ) with 7: [ 2(7) = 3(7) + 3 ] [ 14 = 21 + 3 ] [ 14 = 24 ] Since this statement is false, ( m = 7 ) is not a solution to the equation.
We're not sure what the question means by "root". It may be what's usuallyreferred to as the "solution" of the equation ... the number that 'm' must be inorder to make the equation a true statement. Here's how to find the 'solution':2m + 7 = 8 + mSubtract 7 from each side:2m = 1 + mSubtract 'm' from each side:m = 1
