Question

Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the decimals before solving? –m + 0.02 + 2.1m = –1.45 – 4.81m

Answer 1

easy answer 100

Explanation:

Answer 2

100

Explanation:

The given equation is;

–m + 0.02 + 2.1m = –1.45 – 4.81m

The highest decimal places is 2.

This implies that, we must multiply each term of the equation by
`10^2=100` before solving in order to eliminate the decimal.

In that case the equation becomes;

–100m + 2 + 210m = –145 – 481m

Hence the number is 100
