Question

solve for m
r=2m+2z
m=?

Answer 1

You can't solve for m but you can write m in terms of r and z.

Answer 2

Simply set m to one side, this is algebra, you've asked many question like this before, you can do it :)

Answer 3

I really struggle with Algebra. I always have no matter how hard i work at it

Answer 4

We need first to set the coefficient of m and m together alone
We need to have 2m alone on one side, can you do that?

Answer 5

\[m = r/2 - z\]

Answer 6

@Compassionate You should let her to it

Answer 7

That is
r
m = ---- - z
2

Answer 8

She is lacking the mental capacity to do it. That's the problem.

Answer 9

That's not the problem, that's because she didn't get a good explanation.

Answer 10

Give her one than.

Answer 11

Let's treat each monomial as one single variable;
r=2m+2z

Let's say r is a
2m is b
2z is c

So we have \(a=b+c\)

Answer 12

*then

Answer 13

ok, ill figure it out. Thanks. I do have the mental capcity but my strength is in other areas and my greatest weakness is Math. People can explain till their blue in the face and it doesn't connect. I use math everyday in mywoork but its formulated for me as its business math.

Answer 14

How dare you correct my grammar, @higgs

Answer 15

sorry i couldn't resist the temptation

Answer 16

*I

Hehe.

Answer 17

"Sorry, I couldn't resist the temptation." Hehe.

Answer 18

I was correcting your spelling, not grammar.

Answer 19

I'm concerning your grammar. :P)

Answer 20

As I said earlier, you must set the what's with m and itself alone on one side of an equations.
2m is b in our case, so let's set b on one side;

a=b+c
b=a-c

Now replace all variables
2m = r - 2z

We need now to set m alone, therefore we must take away the coefficient, to do that, you simply divide both side by 2\[m=\frac{r-2z}{2}\]and that could be simplified as \[m=\frac{r}{2}-\frac{2z}{2}=\frac{r}{2}-z\]

Answer 21

If not, then your sentence did not make sense. Might confuse someone.

Answer 22

@higgs Zepp deserves a medal.

Answer 23

Yes he does.

Answer 24

I love how we're spamming the hell out of this topic.

Answer 25

It's closed, so it's okay. I guess.
