Algebra.Com's Answer #473091 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve for m in PQ/T = L/MO \n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply \n" ); document.write( "PQMO = LT \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by PQO \n" ); document.write( "M = \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "You can check this by assigning values to L,T,P,Q,O, and find M \n" ); document.write( "then putting these values into the original equation and see if equality reigns \n" ); document.write( " |
