You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Assume you mean to solve this using the factoring method
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m%5E2%2F18\"$ - $\"m%2F6\"$ - 1 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Get rid of the denominator; multiply equation by 18 (every term * 18); results:
\n" ); document.write( "m^2 - 3m - 18 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "This factors easily to:
\n" ); document.write( "(m - 6)(m + 3) = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "m = +6
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "m = -3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this by substitution in the original equation using m = -3
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3%5E2%2F18\"$ - $\"-3%2F6\"$ - 1 = 0
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9%2F18\"$ - $\"%28-1%2F2%29\"$ - 1 =
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1%2F2\"$ + $\"1%2F2\"$ - 1 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can check the m=+6 solution
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
