Solve 4(m+3)=18

$$4 ( m + 3 ) = 18$$

Solve for m

$$m = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 4.

$$m+3=\frac{18}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{18}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$m+3=\frac{9}{2}$$

Subtract 3 from both sides.

$$m=\frac{9}{2}-3$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{6}{2}.

$$m=\frac{9}{2}-\frac{6}{2}$$

Since \frac{9}{2} and \frac{6}{2} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$m=\frac{9-6}{2}$$

Subtract 6 from 9 to get 3.

$$m=\frac{3}{2}$$
