Question 571767: what is the answer to
1/3(m-2)=7/6(m+5)-5/3m
one third(m-2)=seven sixths(m+5)-five thirds m
and

1/5(m-5)=7/10(m+3)-4/5m
one fifth (m-5)=seven tenths (m+3)-four fifths m

Multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate all of the denominators. Apply the distributive property to eliminate the parentheses. Collect like terms with the variable term in the LHS and the constant term in the RHS. Multiply by the reciprocal of the coefficient on the variable.
