HELP ASAP!!!! 10 PTS What is the value of m? 0.61m−1.51m=9

Answer 1

Since 0.61m and 1.51m are like terms you can simply subtract them

$0.61m-1.51m=-0.9m$

Then the equation would look like this.

$-0.9m=9$

So to isolate m you would divide by -0.9 on both sides

$m=-10$

Answer 2

You can rewrite this equation as:

2.12m = 9

This will simplify things.

Divide 9 by 2.12.

9 / 2.12 ≈ 4.245

So, m = about 4.3!
