Question

What is the solution to the equation 3.6m − 2.7 = −1.8m?

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of m is 0.5

Option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation

3.6m-2.7=-1.8m

On solving

Firstly we move the 1.8 m to left hand side in the equation

3.6m+1.8m=2.7

Now, On adding in left hand side

5.4m=2.7

On dividing of 2.7 by 5.4

$m=\dfrac{2.7}{5.4}$

$m = 0.5$

Hence, The value of m is 0.5

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B is correct

m = 0.5 is the solution to the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

$3.6m-2.7= -1.8m$

Add 2.7 to both sides, we have;

$3.6m-2.7+2.7= -1.8m+2.7$

Simplify:

$3.6m = -1.8m+2.7$

Add 1.8 m to both sides we have;

$5.4m =2.7$

Divide both sides by 5.4 we have;

$m = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

⇒m = 0.5

Therefore, the solution for the given equation is, 0.5
