Lesson Summary

What is the value of m in the equation?

2(m-2)3+4=6?

A.4
B.6
C.8
D.5



Text Answer


Subtract 4 from both sides:

2(𝑚−2)3+4-4=6-4

2(𝑚−2)3=2

Multiply both sides by 3: 2(𝑚−2)3×3=2×3
2(m-2)=6

Divide both sides by 2: 22(𝑚−2)=62
M - 2 = 3

Add 2 to both sides: m-2+2 = 3+2

M = 5

The correct answer is D (5).
