Question

M-1 1/2=-5/4 what is it

Answer 1

$\frac{m - 11}{2} = \frac{ - 5}{4}$
Multiply through by the LCM: 8
$8( \frac{m - 11}{2} ) = 8( \frac{ - 5}{4} )$
Divide and Simplify
$4(m - 11) = 2( - 5)$
Open up the brackets
$4m - 44 = - 10$
Collect your like terms
$4m = - 10 + 44$
$4m = 34 \\ \\ m = 34 \div 4 \\ \\ m = 8.5$
