Question 12730: please help me. solve the following.
2m - 5
------- = 3
9
First thing you do is multiply both sides by 9.
(2m-5)(9)/9 = 3(9)
The nines should cancel
2m - 5 = 3 x 9
We know that 3 x 9 = 27
2m -5 = 27
Then add 5 to both sides
2m - 5 + 5 = 27 + 5
The 5's cancel each other
2m = 32
divide both sides by 2
2m/2 = 32/2
