Question 664167


Hi, how do you solve this fractional equation? Can you please explain it to me....
4m-3/5=5m+2/12.... (4m-3 over 5)= (5m+2 over 12)


{{{(4m - 3)/5 = (5m + 2)/12}}}


12(4m - 3) = 5(5m + 2) ------- Cross-multiplying


48m - 36 = 25m + 10


48m - 25m = 10 + 36


23m = 46


m = {{{46/23}}}, or {{{highlight_green(2)}}}


I'm sure you can do the check!!
