10+40m=10+5m
Use the distributive property to multiply -5 by -2-8m.
10+40m-5m=10
Subtract 5m from both sides.
10+35m=10
Combine 40m and -5m to get 35m.
35m=10-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
35m=0
Subtract 10 from 10 to get 0.
m=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since 35 is not equal to 0, m must be equal to 0.
