Question

what are the steps to : 0=m/4-1

Answer 1

tell me if I'm understanding this correctly
\[0 = \frac{ m }{ 4-1 }\]
it that right?

Answer 2

or is it:
\[0 = \frac{ m }{ 4 } - 1\]

Answer 3

no, its: 0=\[\frac{ m }{ 4 }\]-1

Answer 4

so like the second one i wrote there?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

ok, so we start by adding 1 to both sides of the equation, like this:
\[0+1 = \frac{ m }{ 4 } - 1 + 1\]
you can see that the positive and negative 1 on the right hand side of the equation cancel each other out, and 0+1 just equal 1, so we re-write as:
\[1 = \frac{ m }{ 4 }\]

Answer 7

following this ok so far, lemme know if theres anything u dont get

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

so then you can multiply both sides by 4 to get:
\[1 \times 4 = \frac{ m \times 4 }{ 4 }\]
here, the 4's on the right hand side of the equation cancel each other out, and 1 times 4 is just 4 so:
\[4 = m\]
