Solve for M. E=cm/r A. m=e+r/c B. m=er/c C. m=E-rc D. m=e+rc

OpenStudy (igreen):

E = cm/r Multiply r to both sides, what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Multiply 'r' to both sides. Multiply it to E.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still confused...

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(E = \dfrac{cm}{r}\) To solve for m, you have to get it by itself on one side of the equal sign. To do that you have to eliminate c and r and put them at the other side. r is being divided by m, so you have to do the opposite to get it on the other side, which is multiply. Multiplying r to both sides will remove the division, and give you \(Er = cm\). Now can you divide c to both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhhh.... im still confused.

OpenStudy (igreen):

It's just like solving a normal equation, but instead of numbers, you have letters.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still confused on how to solve t :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you mena Er/c and cm/c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mean*

OpenStudy (igreen):

What are you confused on?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know specifically, im just confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you still there?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, it would because you have to divide c to both sides which gives you \(\dfrac{Er}{c} = m\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i get it now. thank you
