Okay. My friend got 7.5 and i got 16.5. what one is right? and if I did get it wrong, whatd i do wrong? 3-2m/5=6. solve for m.

Question

ghazi · Answer

(3-2m)=6*5=30.........now you can calculate

ghazi · Answer

well on the other hand 3-6=2m/5........therefore 2m= -15 and m= -7.5

anonymous · Answer

you can turn it around to be 2m-3 and then add 3 to 30 and then divide 33 by 2....but what one is right?

ghazi · Answer

well it depends ...on your question...i did what i saw ...if you will consider it as (3-2m)/5=6 then you'll have another answer and if you'll consider 3-(2m/5)=6 you'll have another one

anonymous · Answer

-2m/5 = 3

-2m = 15

m = -7.5
