Solve for "m"..... - 7m/5 = 3/8
First: eliminate the fractions - multiply the denominators with each term.
(5)(8)(-7m/5) = (5)(8)(3/8)
Sec: cross cancel "like" terms & combine the remaining terms.
(8)(-7m) = (5)(3)
- 56m = 15
Third: isolate "m" on one side - divide both terms by "-56"....
(- 56m)/-56 = (15)/-56
m = -15/56

- 7m/5 = 3/8
15 = 8(- 7m)
15 = - 56m
15/- 56 = -56m/-56
15/-56 = m
- 0.267857143 = m

-7m/5 = 3/8
m*(-7/5) = 3/8
m = (3/8)/(-7/5)
m = (3/8)*(5/-7)
m = -15/56

F*cking actual. i myself love math, algebra, calculus, geometry, and so on. and that i'd take a seat and do this each at some point if i wanted to. in actuality I even locate new the type to choose new formula, and equations. i assume that is why I have been given all "A's" in college
