Answer:

m=18 or m=\frac{1}{18}

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is ambiguous because you cannot tell if the equation is:

-\frac{2}{3}m=-12

or

-\frac{2}{3m} =-12

If it is the former, m=18. Multiply each side by 3/2 to isolate m.

If it is the latter, m=\frac{1}{18}. Isolate m by multiplying each side by 3m, divide by -12, and then divide by 3 to isolate m.

Answer:

m = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

-2/3m = -12

multiply both sides of the equation by 3:

-2/3m(3) = -12(3)

simplify:

-2m = -36

divide both sides by -2:

-2m/-2 = -36/-2

simplify:

m = 18

Solve |3k-2|=2|k+12|
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

k = 26   or   k = -\dfrac{22}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

|3k - 2| = 2|k + 12|

\dfrac{|3k - 2|}{|k + 12|} = 2

|\dfrac{3k - 2}{k + 12}| = 2

3k - 2 = 2(k + 12)   or   3k - 2 = -2(k + 12)

3k - 2 = 2k + 24   or   3k - 2 = -2k - 24

k = 26   or   5k = -22

k = 26   or   k = -\dfrac{22}{5}
