Question 666926
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">

It is either a linear equation in *[tex \LARGE m] or a rational equation in *[tex \LARGE m] depending on whether the variable is in the denominator or not.  Since you didn't use parentheses to eliminate the ambiguity, I can't tell which you mean:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{1}{4}m\ =\ 9]


or


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{1}{4m}\ =\ 9]


The next time you post with a fractional coefficient on the variable, use parentheses like this:  (1/4)x = 9.


Or, if you want to show that the variable is part of the denominator, use parentheses like this:  1/(4x) = 9.
