Can you please help me figure out what is "M"?
3 = 2M
- + 9
3
question: 3= 2m
-
3 + 9
sorry question is
3=2M/3 + 9 what would M be?
3= 2m/3 + 9
3-9 = 2m/3+9-9
-6 = 2m/3
-6 (3) = 3(2m/3)
-18 = 2m
M = -9
that's a new way to break it down thanks this helps
To solve for "M" in the given equation, you need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do it step-by-step:
1. Start by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation to move it to the right side:
3 - 9 = 2M + 3
Simplifying the equation:
2. -6 = 2M + 3
3. Next, subtract 3 from both sides:
-6 - 3 = 2M
Simplifying further:
4. -9 = 2M
5. Now, divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for "M":
-9/2 = M
So, the value of "M" is -9/2 or -4.5.
To summarize, the value of "M" can be found by solving the equation step-by-step, where you subtract 9 from both sides, simplify the equation, and then divide by 2.
