2m+5/3=3m-10 solve the following equations. Check your result in each case.
nickkaushiknick:
you should write (2m + 5)/3 instead of 2m + 5/3, that creates confusion :)

2m+5/3=3m-10
2m+5=3(3m-10)
2m+5=9m-30
2m-9m=-30-5
-7m=--35
m=35/7
m=5

Answer:
m = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
(2m + 5)/3 = 3m - 10
multiplying both sides with 3 ( to eliminate 3 from denominator)
2m + 5 = 9m - 30
2m - 9m = - 30 - 5
- 7m = - 35
m = - 35 / -7
m = 5
Verification
Putting value of m = 5 both sides
LHS RHS
= (2m + 5)/3 = 3m - 10
= (2×5 + 5)/3 = 3×5 - 10
= (10 + 5)/3 = 15 - 10
= 15/3 = 5
= 5
LHS = RHS (Verified)
