(3)/(8) = - (1)/(8m) pls help

Question

`(3)/(8) = - (1)/(8m)`
pls help

Answer 1

m = -
`(1)/(3)`

multiply both sides by 8m to eliminate fractions

3m = - 1 ( divide both sides by 3 )

m = -
`(1)/(3)`

Answer 2

I suppose you want to solve the equation for m. To do so, multiply both sides by 8m to get

`3m = -1`

Now divide both sides by 3 to get

`m = -(1)/(3)`
