Solve for m
Give an exact answer.
4(1+0.5m) = 7m
To solve for m, let's start by distributing the 4 to both terms inside the parentheses:
4 + 2m = 7m
Next, let's isolate the term with m on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 2m from both sides:
4 = 7m - 2m
This simplifies to:
4 = 5m
Finally, to solve for m, divide both sides of the equation by 5:
4/5 = m
So, the exact solution for m is m = 4/5.
