Question
Solve: $4(m + 3) = 18$

Answer

Given: $4(m + 3) = 18$
Divide both the sides by $4$, we get,
$m+3=\frac{18}{4}$
or $m+3=\frac{9}{2}$
or $m=\frac{9}{2}-3$ (Subtracting $3$ on both sides)
or $m=\frac{3}{2}$
Verification:
Check $LHS = 4\left[\frac{3}{2}+3\right]=4 \times \frac{3}{2}+4 \times 3=2 \times 3+4 \times 3$
$= 6 + 12 = 18 = RHS$
