Question

m-8 by m+1.5=0.5 solve the equation​

Answer 1

Answer:

m = 17.5

Explanation:

m-8 / m+1.5 = 0.5

m-8 = 0.5 (m+1.5)

m-8 = 0.5m+0.75

m-0.5m = 0.75+8

0.5m = 8.75

m = 8.75 ÷ 0.5

m = 17.5

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{m - 8}{m + 1.5} = 0.5 \\ by \: cross \: multiplication \\ 0.5(m + 1.5) = m - 8 \\ 0.5m + 0.75 = m - 8 \\ m - 0.5m = 8 + 0.75 \\ 0.5m = 8.75 \\ m = \frac{8.75}{0.5} \\ = \frac{8.75}{0.5} \times \frac{100}{100} = \frac{875}{50 } = \frac{35}{2} = 17.5$
