Answer:

m= 9/5 n - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve for m.

−5m+9n=15

Step 1: Add -9n to both sides.

−5m+9n+−9n=15+−9n

−5m=−9n+15

Step 2: Divide both sides by -5.

-5m/-5 = -9n+15/-5

m= 9/5 n - 3

Three-eighths of the sum of sixteen times a number and twenty-four. How do you set this up?

patriot [66]

If you break it up:

Three-eighths = 3/8

Sixteen times a number, we'll call the unknown number X, so 16X.

Twenty Four = 24

The sum of 16X and 24 = 16X + 24

We want 3/8 of that sum so we put the sum in parenthesis and we get:

Y = 3/8(16X + 24) where Y is the answer youd get if you knew what X was.
