Question

What is the value of m that makes this equation true?m/8 - 7= m/4+13m/8 and m/4 are fractions

Answer 1

$\frac{m}{8}-7\text{ =}\frac{m}{4}+\text{ 13}$

collect like term

$-7\text{ - 13 =}\frac{m}{4}-\frac{m}{8}$$-20=\frac{2m-m}{8}$$-20=\frac{m}{8}$

Multiply both-side of the equation by 8

$-20(8)\text{ = m}$$-160=m$

The value of m is -160
