Question

solve the following equation by the trail and error method.
$\frac{2m}{3} - 1 = 1$
please find m =
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{2m}{3} - 1 = 1$  

Find common denominator

$\frac{2m}{3} +\frac{3(-1)}{3}$

Combine fractions with common denominator

$\frac{2m+ 3(-1)}{3} = 1$

Multiply the numbers

$\frac{2m-3}{3} = 1$

Multiply all terms by the same value to eliminate fraction denominators

$3 * \frac{2m-3}{3} =3$

Cancel multiplied terms that are in the denominator

$2m-3 = 3$

Add  3 to both sides of the equation

$2m-3+3=3+3$

$2m = 6$

$m = 3$
