Question

Solve. Please help me
m^2-3=11m/2

Answer 1

m=-.5 or m=6

Answer 2

But how did you get that answer?

Answer 3

Hello???

Answer 4

m^2-3 = (11 m)/2
Subtract (11 m)/2 from both sides:
m^2-(11 m)/2-3 = 0
Add 3 to both sides:
m^2-(11 m)/2 = 3
Add 121/16 to both sides:
m^2-(11 m)/2+121/16 = 169/16
Factor the left hand side:
(m-11/4)^2 = 169/16
Take the square root of both sides:
abs(m-11/4) = 13/4
Eliminate the absolute value:
m-11/4 = -13/4 or m-11/4 = 13/4
Add 11/4 to both sides:
m = -1/2 or m-11/4 = 13/4
Add 11/4 to both sides:
m = -1/2 or m = 6

Answer 5

Thanks & I see what I did wrong.
