find the value of m if
\n" ); document.write( " $\"e%2F1+=+f%2F2+=+g%2F3+=+%28%285e+-+6f+-2g%29%29%2Fm\"$
\n" ); document.write( "get e and g in terms of f
\n" ); document.write( "e = $\"f%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"g%2F3+=+f%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "g = $\"%283f%29%2F2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "g = 1.5f
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for e and g in $\"%28%285e+-+6f+-2g%29%29%2Fm\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%285%28f%2F2%29-6f-2%281.5f%29%29%29%2Fm\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28%282.5f-6g-3f%29%29%2Fm\"$
\n" ); document.write( "now we have
\n" ); document.write( " $\"f%2F2+=+%28-6.5f%29%2Fm\"$
\n" ); document.write( "cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "fm = 2(-6.5f)
\n" ); document.write( "fm = -13f
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by f
\n" ); document.write( "m = -13 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
