Q. Let m=6x+5. Which equation is equivalent to (6x+5)2−10=−18x−15 in terms of m? Choose 1 answer: (A) m2−3m+5=0 (B) m2+3m+5=0 (C) m2−3m−10=0 (D) m2+3m−10=0
Substitute m: Let's first substitute m for 6x+5 in the given equation.(6x+5)2−10=−18x−15Substitute m:m2−10=−18x−15
Express −18x in terms of m: Now, we need to express −18x in terms of m. Since m=6x+5, we can solve for x:6x=m−5x=6m−5
Substitute x back: Substitute x back into the equation: m2−10=−18(6m−5)−15
Simplify the equation: Simplify the equation by multiplying −18 with (m−5)/6:m2−10=−3(m−5)−15
Distribute −3 inside: Distribute −3 inside the parentheses: m2−10=−3m+15−15
Combine like terms: Combine like terms: m2−10=−3m
Add 10 to both sides: Add 10 to both sides to set the equation to zero:m2−3m=0
Correct the substitution: None of the answer choices match m2−3m=0 exactly, so we must have made a mistake. Let's go back and check our steps.
Distribute −3 correctly: Let's correct the substitution and multiplication:m2−10=−18(6m−5)−15Simplify the right side:m2−10=−3(m−5)−15
Combine like terms: Now distribute −3 inside the parentheses correctly: m2−10=−3m+15−15
Add 10 to both sides: Combine like terms on the right side:m2−10=−3m
Correct the final step: Now, add 10 to both sides to set the equation to zero:m2−3m+10=0
Move all terms to one side: Looking at the answer choices, we see that the correct equivalent equation in terms of m is: m2−3m+10=0 This matches answer choice (C) m2−3m−10=0, but we have a positive 10, not a negative 10. We need to check our steps again.
