Question

3m=5m -
$\frac{8}{5}$
​

Answer 1

Question :

If,

$3m = 5m - \frac{8}{5}$

then the value of m ?

Answer :

The value of m is 0.8

Explanation :

Given,

$3m = 5m - \frac{8}{5}$

By transposing 5m to LHS ,

$3m - 5m = - \frac{8}{5}$

$- 2m = - \frac{8}{5}$

By cancellation of (-) on both sides , we get

$2m = \frac{8}{5}$

by cross multiplication, we get,

$5 \times 2m \: = 8$

$10m \: = 8$

$m = \frac{8}{10}$

$m = 0.8$

Therefore, the value of m is 0.8
