Question

Solve the equation using multiplication or division
A. 13/5
B.65

Answer 1

Explanation

Our task is to solve the following equation:

`\sf{-13=\cfrac{m}{-5}}`

In order to solve, we are going to mutiply both sides by -5.

`\sf{\cfrac{m}{-5}*(-5)=-13*(-5)}`

Simplify:

`\sf{-m=-65}`

A negative times a negative yields a positive, therefore:

`\sf{m=65}`

Therefore, m = 65.
