You can put this solution on YOUR website!
start with -2m = 16m - 9\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "subtract 16m from both sides of the equation to get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-2m - 16m = 16m - 9 - 16m\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms to getr -18m = -9\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by -18 to get m = -9 / -18 = 1/2\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when m = 1/2, your original equation becomes -2 * 1/2 = 16 * 1/2 - 9.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplify this to get -1 = 8 - 9 which results in -1 = -1, which is true.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this confirms the solution is correct.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the solution is that m = 1/2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
