problem is -5=6m-1 I know that m=-2/3 but i need a breakdown of how they came up with this anwer

parthkohli · Answer

Okay, gotcha! Have you heard of 'isolation'?

anonymous · Answer

no i am just trying to help a friend and ive been googling for help

parthkohli · Answer

Well. You must get an answer like $x = \text{a number}$.
What you do is add, subtract, divide, multiply a number to both the sides in all steps such that you get the answer. Make sure that the number you use is not 0.

parthkohli · Answer

For example, you have to solve$$x - 6 = 5 $$You will first add 6 to both sides$$x - 6 + 6 = 5 + 6 \ x \cancel{-6 + 6}= 5 + 6\ x = 11 $$

parthkohli · Answer

And if you have$$2x  + 11 = 3x + 12 $$You will first subtract 11 from both sides$$2x + 11 - 11 = 3x + 12 - 11\2x = 3x+1 \-1x = 1\x = -1$$

my hubby told me -1 was the answer to his problem but friend said its -2/3 is that the same thing

anonymous · Answer

hello are you
 still there

parthkohli · Answer

Yes, it is -2/3.
I gave you an example.

parthkohli · Answer

What you do is:
1) add 1 to both sides.
2) divide both sides by 6.
