thomaster · Answer

Subtract 5 on both sides, then multiply everything by 6 to get rid of the fraction.
That would give you the answer

it gives me 3.5

thomaster · Answer

$\large26 = \dfrac{ m }{ 6 } + 5$

subtract 5 on both sides

$\large21 = \dfrac{ m }{ 6 } $

now multiply both sides by 6.

$\dfrac{m}6*6 = m$ 

So $\large m=21*6 $
