4m/9+13-1m/3=4
Please help me solve and show your work
is it(4m/9)+(13-1m/3)=4 ?????
Yes can you show me how to do it
4m+(13*9)-3m [1m/3 times 9 is 9m/3 which simplifies to 3m]=36
4m+187-3m=36 (just multiplying it out)
m+117=36 (4m-3m=1m)
m=(36-117)
m=-81
Sure, I can help you solve this equation step by step. Let's go through it:
1. Start by simplifying both sides of the equation:
4m/9 + 13 - 1m/3 = 4
2. To add or subtract fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 9. Rewrite the equation with a common denominator:
(4m/9) + (13*9/9) - (1m/3) = 4
(4m/9) + (117/9) - (1m/3) = 4
3. Now, we can combine the fractions:
(4m + 117 - 3m) / 9 = 4
4. Simplify the numerators by combining like terms:
(4m - 3m + 117) / 9 = 4
(m + 117) / 9 = 4
5. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9 to eliminate the denominator:
9 * (m + 117) / 9 = 4 * 9
(9m + 1053) / 9 = 36
6. Multiply out the numerator:
9m + 1053 = 36 * 9
9m + 1053 = 324
7. Subtract 1053 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with "m" on the left side:
9m + 1053 - 1053 = 324 - 1053
9m = 324 - 1053
9m = -729
8. Divide both sides of the equation by 9 to solve for "m":
(9m)/9 = (-729)/9
m = -81
So, the solution to the equation 4m/9 + 13 - 1m/3 = 4 is m = -81.
Please note that "m" can also be written as "-81/1".
