SOLUTION: the problem im stuck on is. Twice m decreased by 9.9 is the product of m and -6.25. i translated that to 2m-9.9 = -6.25m. i cant figure out how to solve this.

Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2m-9.9 = -6.25m

-9.9 = -6.25m - 2m

-9.9 = -8.25m

-9.9/(-8.25) = m

1.2 = m

m = 1.2

So the solution is m = 1.2
