Solve using the multiplication property.
- m = 40
To solve using the multiplication property, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the same value.
In this case, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 1/40 to isolate the variable m.
- m * (1/40) = 40 * (1/40)
This simplifies to:
- m/40 = 1
Now we can multiply both sides of the equation by 40 to solve for m:
- (m/40) * 40 = 1 * 40
This simplifies to:
- m = 40
Therefore, the solution to the equation - m = 40, using the multiplication property, is m = 40.
