m%2B%2812%2F9%29m=5%2F9 Start with the given equation.


9%28m%2B%2812%2Fcross%289%29%29m%29=9%285%2Fcross%289%29%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 9 to clear any fractions.


9m%2B12m=5 Distribute and multiply.


21m=5 Combine like terms on the left side.


m=%285%29%2F%2821%29 Divide both sides by 21 to isolate m.

Answer:

So the solution is m=5%2F21
