Question

Solving Rational Equations. This part my teacher even confessed that she didn't explain clear enough. I'm posting the problem & if someone could explain it step by step clearly that would be awesome. Thanks.

Answer 1

Example of what is going on:

Answer 2

you wrote "inequalities" but placed an equal sign

so it's really an equation

Answer 3

which variable are you trying to solve for?

Answer 4

also, in your example, there's an error: the m - M should be m + M

Answer 5

Solve for m on the one I am trying to do

Answer 6

yeah for whatever reason I keep writing inequalities instead of equations.,. I

Answer 7

First multiply both sides by F. Then divide both sides by 'a' to isolate m.

\[\Large k = \frac{ma}{F}\]

\[\Large kF = ma\]

\[\Large ma = kF\]

\[\Large m = \frac{kF}{a}\]
