Question

What solution is -5m=8m-2

Answer 1

m=2/13

Explanation:

Given function:

• -5m=8m-2

Subtract middle value from both side:

• 
  `-5m-8m=8m-2-8m`

Combine like terms:

• 
  `-13m=-2`

Divide both sides by the same term:

• 
  `(-13)/(13)=(-2)/(-13)`

Divide the terms:

• 
  `=(2)/(13)`

Therefore, m=2/13.
