0.6m%2B3=2m%2B0.2 Start with the given equation


10%280.6m%2B3%29=10%282m%2B0.2%29 Multiply both sides by 10 to move the decimal on each number 1 time. This will make every number a whole number.

6m%2B30=20m%2B2 Distribute and multiply




6m=20m%2B2-30Subtract 30 from both sides


6m-20m=2-30 Subtract 20m from both sides


-14m=2-30 Combine like terms on the left side


-14m=-28 Combine like terms on the right side


m=%28-28%29%2F%28-14%29 Divide both sides by -14 to isolate m



m=2 Divide

Answer:
So our answer is m=2
