Question 183462: I tried to get the lowest common denominator and go from there, but I am now stuck with a 9 over m= 1 over m. I think that I need to get either the 9 or the 1 to the other side, but it is a fraction so I don't know how to do that

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
9 over m= 1 over m.
---------------------
9/m = 1/m
------------------
That equation would imply that 9 = 1
which is a contradiction.
-------------------------------
It is an equation but it has no solutions.
It is said to be "inconsistent".
