OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Is it \(-2*\dfrac{m}{2}\) or \(\dfrac{2*m}{2}\)?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Is it equal to 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

No? Ok, well for now, we are going to assume that it is \(2*\dfrac{m}{2}=0\)

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

brb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[-\frac{2m}{2}=-\frac{\cancel 2 m}{\cancel 2}=-m\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what does m equal

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\(m\) is a variable it can equal anything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im trying to solve m

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you did not provide an equation to solve, or a question to answer you wrote \[-\frac{2m}{2}\] if i am reading it right the only interpretation i can think of is to reduce the fraction by cancelling the twos

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you cannot solve for \(m\) with out an equation for example you can solve \[-\frac{2m}{2}=5\]if you want, but you cannot solve \[-\frac{2m}{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[whats -2\times m \over two\]
