Question

How do you solve this proportion
2m - 1 / 3 = m + 1 / 2

Answer 1

You would cross multiply.
\[\frac{2m - 1}{3} = \frac{m + 1}{2} \implies 2(2m - 1) = 3(m + 1)\]Can you solve from here?

Answer 2

Would you just use the distributive property

Answer 3

Yes. You would distribute the 2 and 3 and then solve for m.
