Answer: m = 3[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
the value of 7m−3 is half as big as the value of 12m+1 implies that
7m - 3 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( 12m + 1)
cross multiplying, we have
2(7m-3) = 12m + 1
Expanding the L.H.S , we have
14m - 6 = 12m + 1
collecting the like terms ,we have
14m - 12m = 1 + 6
2m = 7
Dividing through by 2
m = 7/2
m = 3[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
