Solve the equation. 5m + 4m = 72 question 11 options:

Hello there!

To solve this, we must first combine 5m and 4m

5m + 4m = 9m

So, now we have:

9m = 72

Now, we must isolate the left side, making it equal m

To do this, we will divide both sides by 9.

9m       72
   =       
 9          9

So, now we have:

m = 8

This means that the answer is 8.

I hope helped!
