Answer:
5 5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 2 1/3 by 2 1/2. The easiest way (?!) is to change both mixed numbers to improper fractions (I dislike that name! It just means a numerator bigger than the denominator).
2 1/3 Multiply the denominator 3 by the whole number 2, add the numerator 1 to get 6+1 = 7. Place that over the denominator, 3. So 2 1/3 = 7/3.
2 1/2 Multiply the denominator 2 by the whole number 2, add the numerator 1 to get 4+1=5. Place that over the denominator, 2. So 2 1/2 = 5/2.
Multiply 7/3 by 5/2.
Finally, convert the improper fractioin 35/6 to a mixed number by dividing 35 by 6 (6 goes into 35 5 whole times with 5 "left over"). The whole number part is 5 and the left over fraction part is 5/6.
5 5/6

We want to isolate "m" on one side of the equation and have a number on the other side. Let's start by subtracting both sides by 5m
Now, let's subtract both sides by 11
We now have the value of m.
The next thing I'm going to do is a bit tedious, but you typically want to have the variable on the left side of the equation in the field of math. It's a good habit to develop now.
Thus, the answer is choice 3, -18. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
