Question

. Use the literal equation =−m equals , 5 fourths , n minus 7 to find m when =n equals 40.

Answer 1

Using the given literal equation:
=-m = 5/4(n - 7)

And when =n is equal to 40, we can substitute it into the equation:

=-m = 5/4(40 - 7)

Simplifying the equation:

=-m = 5/4(33)

Now, let's solve for m:

m = -5/4(33)

Calculating this gives us:

m = -41.25
