Question

multiple-choice question
solve.
4(m + 3) = -32
m = 5
m = -5
m = 11
m = -11
rewatch

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 4

To isolate the term with \( m \), we divide both sides of the equation \( 4(m + 3) = -32 \) by 4.
\[
\frac{4(m + 3)}{4} = \frac{-32}{4}
\]
Simplifying both sides, we get:
\[
m + 3 = -8
\]

Step2: Subtract 3 from both sides

To solve for \( m \), we subtract 3 from both sides of the equation \( m + 3 = -8 \).
\[
m + 3 - 3 = -8 - 3
\]
Simplifying both sides, we find:
\[
m = -11
\]

Answer:

m = -11
