If m(2x−3)+n(x+1)=5x for all real numbers x, where m and n are constants, what is the value of m?

m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given,

m(2x − 3) + n(x + 1) = 5x for all real numbers x.

Since x is a real number, we can obtain the value of m as follow:

Let x = 1

m(2x − 3) + n(x + 1) = 5x

m(2×1 − 3) + n(1 + 1) = 5×1

m(2 – 3) + n(2) = 5

m(– 1) + n(2) = 5

– m + 2n = 5 (1)

Let x = 2

m(2x − 3) + n(x + 1) = 5x

m(2×2 − 3) + n(2 + 1) = 5×2

m(4 – 3) + n(3) = 10

m(1) + n(3) = 10

m + 3n = 10 (2)

– m + 2n = 5 (1)

m + 3n = 10 (2)

Solve by elimination method

Add equation 1 and 2

– m + 2n = 5

+ (m + 3n = 10)

5n = 15

Divide both side by 5

n = 15/5

n = 3

Substitute the value of n into any of the equation to obtain the value of m. Here, we shall substitute n into equation 2.

m + 3n = 10

m + 3(3) = 10

m + 9 = 10

Collect like terms

m = 10 – 9

m = 1

Therefore, the value of m is 1

in mathematics, a constraint is a condition of an optimization problem that the solution must satisfy. there are several types of constraints—primarily equality constraints, inequality constraints, and integer constraints. the set of candidate solutions that satisfy all constraints is called the feasible set.

hoped i'm right lol
