<PRE><B>Question 118773</B>

{{{0.6m+3=2m+0.2}}} Start with the given equation



{{{10(0.6m+3)=10(2m+0.2)}}} Multiply both sides by 10 to move the decimal on each number 1 time. This will make every number a whole number.


{{{6m+30=20m+2}}} Distribute and multiply





{{{6m=20m+2-30}}}Subtract 30 from both sides



{{{6m-20m=2-30}}} Subtract 20m from both sides



{{{-14m=2-30}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{-14m=-28}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{m=(-28)/(-14)}}} Divide both sides by -14 to isolate m




{{{m=2}}} Divide


--------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So our answer is {{{m=2}}}
