Question

Solve 4m plus 2n equals 5n for m.

Answer 1

Answer:

m = (3/4) n

Step-by-step explanation:

4m + 2n = 5n

The subtraction property of equality states that we can subtract 2n from both sides to isolate the m and its coefficient to get

4m = 3n

The division property of equality states that we can divide 4 from both sides to isolate only the m (we divide by 4 because anything divided by itself equals 1) to get

m = (3/4) n
