(2/7)m - (1/7) = 3/14
2m/7 =(3/14) + (1/7)
2m/7 = (3/14) + 2(1/7)
here we are multiplying 2 with 1/7 to make the denominator same for addition.
2m/7 = (3/14) +(2/14)
2m/7 = (3 + 2)/14
2m/7 = 5/14
2m = (5 *7)/14
2m = 35/14
2m = 5/2
m = 5/4
m = 1.25
So the value of "m" is 1.25

Solution for \frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14} \ is \ m = \frac{5}{4} \ or \ m = 1\frac{1}{4} \ or \ m = 1.25

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

It is a case about one variable linear quations and we have to solve the equation to get the variable m.

Our main goal is to isolate the variable m alone at the end of the process on one side of the equation, until the variable will be equal to the value on the opposite side.

Let us add \frac{1}{7} to both sides:

\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{1}{7}

\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{1}{7}

On the right side for the addition operation, we equate the common denominator by multiplying \ \frac{1}{7} \ by \ \frac{2}{2}

\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{2}{14}

Then we combine terms to get:

\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{5}{14}

We divide by the coefficient of m, or in other words, multiply both sides by \frac{7}{2}:

\frac{2}{7}m \times \frac{7}{2} = \frac{5}{14} \times \frac{7}{2}

Finally, the solution is obtained as follows

m = \frac{35}{28}

We simplify fractions, both the numerator and denominator are divided equally by 7.

\boxed{ \ m = \frac{5}{4} \ }

In the form of mixed fractions, we get:

\boxed{ \ m = 1 \frac{1}{4} \ }

In decimal form, we get

m = 1 \frac{25}{100} \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = 1.25 \ }

Wanna check the solution into the equation?

\big( \frac{2}{7} \times \frac{5}{4} \big) - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}

\frac{10}{28} - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}

\frac{5}{14} - \frac{2}{14} = \frac{3}{14}

\frac{3}{14} = \frac{3}{14}

Both sides show the same value, so the solution is correct.

These are quick steps in summary:

\frac{2}{7}m - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{3}{14}

\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{1}{7}

\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{2}{14}

\frac{2}{7}m = \frac{5}{14}

m = \frac{5}{14} \times \frac{7}{2}

m = \frac{35}{28}

\rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = \frac{5}{4} \ }

\rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = 1 \frac{1}{4} \ }

\rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = 1.25 \ }

Note:

The important thing to do is how to manipulate both sides of the equation with the algebraic properties of equality such as:

  • adding,
  • subtracting,
  • multiplying, and/or
  • dividing both sides of the equation with the same number.

In the form of fractions, the steps that must be considered are

  • equate the denominator,
  • simplify fractions, and
  • for the final answer, convert fractions to mixed fractions or decimal forms

All these processes can occur repeatedly until the isolated variables are obtained on one side of the equation.

Let's practice a lot until you get used to and know which operations should be done first.

Without plotting points, let M=(-2,-1), N=(3,1), M'= (0,2), and N'=(5, 4). Without using the distanceformula, show that segments
kramer

Given:

M=(x1, y1)=(-2,-1),

N=(x2, y2)=(3,1),

M'=(x3, y3)= (0,2),

N'=(x4, y4)=(5, 4).

We can prove MN and M'N' have the same length by proving that the points form the vertices of a parallelogram.

For a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal

If we prove that the quadrilateral MNN'M' forms a parallellogram, then MN and M'N' will be the oppposite sides. So, we can prove that MN=M'N'.

To prove MNN'M' is a parallelogram, we have to first prove that two pairs of opposite sides are parallel,

Slope of MN= Slope of M'N'.

Slope of MM'=NN'.

\begin{gathered} \text{Slope of MN=}\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} \\ =\frac{1-(-1)}{3-(-2)} \\ =\frac{2}{5} \\ \text{Slope of M'N'=}\frac{y4-y3}{x4-x3} \\ =\frac{4-2}{5-0} \\ =\frac{2}{5} \end{gathered}

Hence, slope of MN=Slope of M'N' and therefore, MN parallel to M'N'

\begin{gathered} \text{Slope of MM'=}\frac{y3-y1}{x3-x1} \\ =\frac{4-(-1)}{5-(-2)} \\ =\frac{3}{2} \\ \text{Slope of NN'=}\frac{y4-y2}{x4-x2} \\ =\frac{4-1}{5-3} \\ =\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}

Hence, slope of MM'=Slope of NN' nd therefore, MM' parallel to NN'.

Since both pairs of opposite sides of MNN'M' are parallel, MM'N'N is a parallelogram.

Since the opposite sides are of equal length in a parallelogram, it is proved that segments MN and M'N' have the same length.

What is the slope and y-intercept of the graph?<br><br><br><br> Slope: <br><br><br> y-intercept:
mr Goodwill [35]
Y = 0 + 2

Since it is a horizontal line, the slope is m = 0.

For the y-intercept, the line passes through 2 so therefore, the y-intercept is 2 positive.

A pair of vertical angles has measures (3x+4)° and (7x-9)°<br> What is the value of x?
Andrei [34K]
Since they are vertical they are equal to each other.

3x + 4 = 7x - 9
4 = 4x - 9
13 = 4x 
3.25 = x

So the value of x is 3.25.

Hope this helps :)
