Question

i had a math equation that started as 5/7m - 3 = 2/7m + 6 ...i worked it up to 3/7m = 9 ... what do i do now?

Answer 1

You would divide each side by 3/7 to get m!

When you are dividing by factions you have to do the opposite.

So you would have to mulitply 7/3 * 9 and you get 21

m=21

Answer 2

ok right now i have 9 / 3/7 .... explain the process from there please ...i dont quite understand hw u came to 21 ( bt i trust ur answer)

Answer 3

Okay, so when you are dividing by fractions you have to flip them then multiply!

So this would give you 7/3 * 9 when you multiple this out you get 63/3 and that simplifies to 21!

Answer 15

x= 1/6

Answer 16

y wasnt it negative ?

Answer 17

Because you have to get a common denominator in order to subtract. so you get 3/6- 2/6 and get 1/6
