2m - 16 = 4m + 24
2m = 4m + 40
-2m = 40
m = -20
Check it.
2(-20 - 8) = 4(-20 + 6)
-56 = -56
It checks.
The Pert equation: (O+4M+P)/6, is basically a weighted average used to estimate a value. O= Optimistic (best) value M= Most likely value; multiplied by 4 because it is more likely. P = pessimistic (worst) value An average is the sum of a group of numbers divided by the count in the group. If we look at the Per Equation as: (O+4M+P)/6 = (O+M+M+M+M+P)/6, you can see the six items that are being averaged.
When dividing 4m by m, you are essentially dividing 4 by 1 (since m divided by m equals 1). Therefore, the result of 4m divided by m is 4.
1/4m
M = 5 * * * * * 4m + m - 11 = 9 or 5m - 11 = 9 so that 5m = 20 and then m = 4, NOT 5.
4m+9+5m-12=42 9m=45 m=5
