Question

(m - 18 / 5) - (4m - 14 / 7) = 1
I need help solving this

Answer 1

First we need to do the division because PEDMAS is forcing us too. >:3

18/5 = 3.6
14/7 = 2

Now we have:

(m - 3.6) - (4m - 2) = 1

Answer 2

Is what I have so far right?
35(m - 18 / 5) - 35(4m - 14 / 7) = 35(1)
(35m - 18 / 5) - (140m - 14 / 7) = 35

Answer 3

Hmm not sure where you got the 35 from. o:

Answer 4

It's the LCD?

Answer 5

I don't remember solving it that way. :/

Answer 6

Well I guess I'll keep going:

m - 3.6 - 4m - 2 = 1

We can remove the parenthesis now since none of them are like terms. Now combine like terms without the parenthesis:

-3m - 5.6 = 1

Answer 7

-3m - 5.6 = 1

Now add 5.6 on both sides:

-3m = 6.6

And divide -3 from both sides:

m = -2.2

Answer 8

I don't know that way. It doesn't sound right to me..

Answer 9

I think you're right, I prolly did it wrong. I keep getting 5 = 1
