You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"5%2F6\"$ m + $\"9%2F4\"$ = $\"-1%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "A good common denominator is 12, multiply equation by that
\n" ); document.write( "12* $\"5%2F6\"$ m + 12* $\"9%2F4\"$ = 12* $\"-1%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Cancel out the denominators and you have;
\n" ); document.write( "2(5m) + 3(9) = 3(-1)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "10m + 27 = -3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "10m = -3 - 27
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "m = $\"-30%2F10\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "m = -3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution with a calc:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5%2F6\"$ (-3) + $\"9%2F4\"$ = $\"-1%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " -2.5 + 2.25 = -.25
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
