Answer 1

Answer:

By multiplying each term by 4

Answer 2

Answer:

"by multiplying each term by 4"

Explanation:

Given

$-\frac{3}{4}m-\frac{1}{2}=2+\frac{1}{4}m$

The given equation is in the fraction form.

Now we need to find the least common factor that is the LCM.

Therefore,

$-\frac{3}{4}m-\frac{1}{2}=2+\frac{1}{4}m$

The least common multiple of the above terms is 4

Therefore by multiplying each term of the equation by 4, we get,

$\left (-\frac{3}{4}m\times 4 \right )-\left (\frac{1}{2}\times 4 \right )=\left (2\times 4 \right )+\left (\frac{1}{4}m\times 4 \right )$

$-3m-2 = 8+m$

Thus by multiplying each terms by 4 we can eliminate the fraction.

Thus the answer is "by multiplying each term by 4"
