Identify Equation: Identify the first equation in the system.The first equation is 2=(m/2)−7.
Isolate m: Isolate m in the first equation.To do this, we will add 7 to both sides of the equation to get 2m on one side.2+7=(2m)−7+79=2m
Multiply by 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for m.2×9=2m×218=m
Check Solution: Check the solution by substituting m back into the original equation.2=(18/2)−72=9−72=2The solution m=18 satisfies the first equation.
Final Solution: Since the second part of the system is simply m=, we have already found the value of m that satisfies the first equation, and there are no further restrictions on m. Therefore, m=18 is the solution to the system.
