You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I can why you are having so much trouble finding x, I can't see it anywhere either.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "But the good news is, you got the right answer for m, congratulations, you did everything right and m = 1/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Here's the check:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-2m+=+16m+-+9\" Substitute m = 1/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-2%281%2F2%29+=+16%281%2F2%29+-+9\" Simplify.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-1+=+8+-+9\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"-1+=+-1\" OK.
\n" ); document.write( "
