Question
d. $2(-6m - 3) = \frac{1}{2}(5m - 1)$
$-12m - 6 = \frac{1}{2}(5m - 1)$
Step1: Expand both sides
Left side: $2(-6m - 3)=-12m - 6$
Right side: $\frac{1}{2}(5m - 1)=\frac{5}{2}m-\frac{1}{2}$
Equation becomes: $-12m - 6=\frac{5}{2}m-\frac{1}{2}$
Step2: Eliminate fraction (multiply by 2)
$2(-12m - 6)=2(\frac{5}{2}m-\frac{1}{2})$
$-24m - 12 = 5m - 1$
Step3: Move terms with m to left, constants to right
$-24m - 5m=-1 + 12$
$-29m = 11$
Step4: Solve for m
$m=\frac{11}{-29}=-\frac{11}{29}$
Wait, but the initial note said "NO Solution" and "One Solution". Let's check again. Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the original problem: Let's re - solve:
Wait, original equation: $2(-6m - 3)=\frac{1}{2}(5m - 1)$
First step: Distribute left: $-12m-6$, right: $\frac{5m}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$
Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate denominator: $2\times(-12m - 6)=2\times(\frac{5m}{2}-\frac{1}{2})$
So $-24m-12 = 5m - 1$
Bring 5m to left and -12 to right: $-24m-5m=-1 + 12$
$-29m = 11$
$m=-\frac{11}{29}$, so there is one solution.
