You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8/3M-2=5/3m+4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Assume your problem is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%288%2F3%29m+-+2+=+%285%2F3%29m+%2B+4\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "First get rid of the denominators. Mult every term by 3 and you have:
\n" ); document.write( "8m - 3(2) = 5m + 3(4)
\n" ); document.write( " 8m - 6 = 5m + 12
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We want to get the unknown (m) on the left and the numerical values on the right
\n" ); document.write( "Add 6 to both sides, get rid of the -6 on the left, adds 6 to the right
\n" ); document.write( "8m - 6 + 6 = 5m + 12 + 6
\n" ); document.write( "8m = 5m + 18
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 5m from both sides:
\n" ); document.write( "8m - 5m = 5m - 5m + 18
\n" ); document.write( "3m = 18
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 3
\n" ); document.write( "m = 18/3
\n" ); document.write( "m = 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check our solution in the original equation, substitute 6 for m:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%288%2F3%29%286%29+-+2+=+%285%2F3%29%286%29+%2B+4\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The 3 cancel into the 6 so you have:
\n" ); document.write( "8(2) - 2 = 5(2) + 4
\n" ); document.write( "16 - 2 = 10 + 4; proves that m = 6 is correct
\n" ); document.write( ";
