Answer:
m = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
-2/3m = -12
multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
-2/3m(3) = -12(3)
simplify:
-2m = -36
divide both sides by -2:
-2m/-2 = -36/-2
simplify:
m = 18
Answer:
[tex]m=18[/tex] or [tex]m=\frac{1}{18}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is ambiguous because you cannot tell if the equation is:
[tex]-\frac{2}{3}m=-12[/tex]
or
[tex]-\frac{2}{3m} =-12[/tex]
If it is the former, [tex]m=18[/tex]. Multiply each side by 3/2 to isolate m.
If it is the latter, [tex]m=\frac{1}{18}[/tex]. Isolate m by multiplying each side by 3m, divide by -12, and then divide by 3 to isolate m.
