12m+100 = 700
solve and show your work
To solve for the variable "m", we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Starting with:
12m + 100 = 700
We want to get rid of the 100 on the left side, so we subtract it from both sides:
12m + 100 - 100 = 700 - 100
This simplifies to:
12m = 600
Now we want to isolate "m" by dividing both sides by 12:
12m / 12 = 600 / 12
This simplifies to:
m = 50
Therefore, the solution is:
m = 50
