Question

Please help me with this problem

Answer 1

3.5m + 3 = 5.5m + 2

Subtract 3 from both sides...
3.5m = 5.5m - 1

Subtract 5.5m from both sides...
-2m = -1

Divide both sides by -2...
m= 1/2


Now to check your work...

3.5(1/2) + 3 = 5.5(1/2) + 2

1.75 + 3 = 2.75 + 2

4.75 = 4.75

Both sides are equal.


The answer is: m= 1/2

1/2 = 0.5
