Answer 1

Answer:

m/10 is the answer.

mark me as brainliest.

Answer 2

Answer:

Simplifying

(3m + -5) * m = 2

Reorder the terms:

(-5 + 3m) * m = 2

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:

m(-5 + 3m) = 2

(-5 * m + 3m * m) = 2

(-5m + 3m2) = 2

Solving

-5m + 3m2 = 2

Solving for variable 'm'.

Reorder the terms:

-2 + -5m + 3m2 = 2 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0

-2 + -5m + 3m2 = 0

Factor a trinomial.

(-1 + -3m)(2 + -1m) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-1 + -3m)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

-1 + -3m = 0

Solving

-1 + -3m = 0

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '1' to each side of the equation.

-1 + 1 + -3m = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: -1 + 1 = 0

0 + -3m = 0 + 1

-3m = 0 + 1

Combine like terms: 0 + 1 = 1

-3m = 1

Divide each side by '-3'.

m = -0.3333333333
