2/12 =14 + 9/12m

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Solving for m?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

First start by subtracting -14 from both sides \(\sf \frac{2}{12} - 14\) = \(\frac{9}{12}m\)

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

What do you get on te left hand side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the easiest way would probably to multiply both sides by 12 \[12(\frac{ 2 }{ 12 })=14+\frac{ 9 }{ 12 }m\]

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

You are only multiplying one side by 12 there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah. I forgot to put it in. anyways, the new equation would be\[2=168+9m\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract both sides by 168 and divide by 9.\[-166=9m\] \[m=-\frac{ 166 }{ 9 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then just simplify
