Question 898016: hello, can you help me solve this equation me and my friend both tried to solve it and both failed the question is -323/72=m-118 those are fractios but i dont know whether or not if they are division problems or not my friend said they were just fractions but i think you have to divide them correct?

That only shows one fraction, the singular not plural; which is the left member of the equation.

The equation given,

ADD 118 to both sides:

Now just simplify.
, combining Symmetric Property of Equality and Commutative Property of Addition in one step;
323=17*9 so no simplification for the fraction, but the right member may and should be operated.







, no factors in common for reducing.
