solving for m?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well first you distribute the 1/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and that is
OpenStudy (anonymous):
kind of stuck on it

so 2m/5=(2/3m-4)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok then i .......
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then you multiply both sides by 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to what
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 2m=10/3m-20

to both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because youre getting rid of it in the denominator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then divide 2 from both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
or do i subtract
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you could or you could subtract 10/3m from both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh wait a sec i think i messed up
OpenStudy (anonymous):
actually you would multiply both sides by 3m to get rid of the denominator
OpenStudy (anonymous):
:S

i tried to divide both sides by 1/3 in the beginning by multiplying by the reciprocal and i got 6m/5=2m-12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but not sure...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I FIGURED IT OUT
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then you multiply both sides by 5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 6m=10m-60

OpenStudy (anonymous):
then you get the right stuff on the right sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so -4m=-60
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then divide -60 by -4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
annnnndddddd m=15

...youre welcome *takes a bow*
