Answer 8

1/3 3/1=3/3

Answer 9

right, and 3/3 = 1, right?

so (1/3)(m-27) times 3 = 1*(m-27) = m - 27, with me so far?

Answer 10

yea

Answer 11

now multiply the right side by 3

Answer 12

4*3 = ?

Answer 13

12

Answer 14

so now we have m - 27 = 12
add 27 to both sides

Answer 16

were did you get 3??

Answer 17

Answer 18

well, we started off with 1/3(m-27), right? I want to "get rid of" (1/3) so I multiply by 3 to change 1/3(m-27) to (m-37)

Answer 19
