Question

1/9 (2m - 16) = 1/3 (2m + 4)

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=7\frac{5}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{1}{9}(2m - 16)=\frac{1}{3}(2m + 4)$

$\frac{2}{9}m - 1\frac{7}{9} =\frac{2}{3}m+ 1\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{2}{9}m - 1\frac{7}{9} -1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{2}{3}m+ 1\frac{1}{3}-1\frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{2}{9}m - 3\frac{1}{9} =\frac{2}{3}m$

$\frac{2}{3}m-\frac{2}{9}m= \frac{2}{9}m -\frac{2}{9}m - 3\frac{1}{9}$

$\frac{4}{9}m= - 3\frac{1}{9}$

$\frac{4}{9}m/\frac{4}{9} = - 3\frac{1}{9}/\frac{4}{9}$

$m=7\frac{5}{16}$
