How do you solve the equation 1/9(2m - 16) = 1/3(2m + 4)?

Answer 1

1/9(2m - 16) = 1/3(2m + 4)?

1/9 times everything in the first ( ) and 1/3 times everything in the second ( )

1/9(2m) 1/9(-16) = 1/3(2m) 1/3 (4)

Simplify

2/9m -16/9 = 2/3 m +4/3

Arrange the equation to get all the m's on one side.

2/9m - 2/3 m = 4/3 + 16 / 9

-4/9m= 28/9

Divide 28/9 by -4/9

m = -.09

Answer 2

wow... only one person above got the answer right... that's sad.

basically, multiply both sides by 9 to make it less confusing:

=> 9*1/9(2m - 16) = 9*1/3(2m + 4)
<=> (2m - 16) = 3(2m + 4)
<=> 2m - 16 = 6m + 12
<=> 2m - 16 - 12 = 6m
<=> -16 - 12 = 6m - 2m
<=> -28 = 4m
<=> m = -7

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

First, distribute the 1/9 and 1/3 to the inside components of the parantheses. That is, multiply the fractions with the components. Then, get all of the "m" terms on one side and get all of the numbers on the other. This is through addition and/or subraction. Both work. Divide both sides by the amounts of "m"s to solve for m. I won't share the answer, you can do it.

Answer 4

2m - 16 = 6m + 12
- 28 = 4m
m = - 7

Answer 5

clear the fractions.

9(2m-144)=3(18m+36)

18m-1296=54m+108
+1296 +1296

18m=54m+1404

36m=1404

36 divided by 36=m
1404 divided by 36=39

so
m=39

Answer 6

multiply both sides by 9

2m-16=6m+12

-4=4m

m= -1

Answer 7

x = (2 log(2)+2 i pi n)/(2 log(2)), n factor Z YOUR answer IS X=a million GOTO THIS website and it's going to DO THE paintings for you purely form THE question IN AND IT COMPUTES IT AND TELLS YOU WHO WHAT whilst the place AND WHY attempt this is AWSOME

Answer 8

distribute, then isolate the variable and divide to get the answer

Answer 9

it's -7. try to work it out.
all the best
