What is the value of m in the equation 1 half m minus 3 fourths n is equal to 16 , when n is equal to 8 ?
Answer
A
48
B
44
C
32
D
20
Explanation
Substitute n = 8 into the equation: (1/2)m − (3/4)(8) = 16. Since (3/4)(8) = 6, add 6 to both sides to get (1/2)m = 22, so m = 44. The correct choice is 44.
