Question

What is 53=12(m - 3/4)- 16

Answer 1

We have such equation
53=12(m-3/4)-16
First we have to multiply 12 times every argument from the parethesis.
53=12*m*-3/4*12-16
53=12m-9-16
53=12m-25       /+25 (add 25 both sides)
53+25=12m
78=12m              /:12 (divide both sides by 12)
78:12=m
$\frac{78}{12}=m$
$\frac{13}{2}=m$
6.5=m - its the answer

Answer 2

53=12(m-3/4)-16 is solved below:

First,
You must multiply 12 by m and 12 by -3/4(0.75) which is 12m and -9

Second,
12m - 9 - 16  ~~Combine Like Terms And It Will Become 12m + 25
53 = 12m + 25   ~~ You Must Subtract 25 From Both Sides Of The Equation And It Becomes 28 = 12m

Third,
28 = 12m    ~~divide both sides by 12
12     12      ~~ 12m/12 cancels out and 28/12 is 2

 Therefore Your Answer is 2
