SOLUTION: 3/5m + a = b, solve for m here's what I have done so far: 3/5m +a-a = b-a 3/5m=b-a I think I need to get rid of the 3/5 from each side? How do i do that?

: 3/5m + a = b, solve for m
here's what I have done so far:
3/5m +a-a = b-a
3/5m=b-a
I think I need to get rid of the 3/5 from each side? How do i do that?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3/5m + a = b
3/5m = b - a
5/3 (3/5 m = b - a)
m = 5 (b - a)/ 3
