Question

Simplify. 2/3 = 2/9m
a. 1/3
b. -1/3
c. 3
d.-3

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

2/3 =2/9 m

2/3 =2m/9 note: 2/9 m is the same as 2/9 *m/1=2m/9

cross multiply

18=6m

so m=3

Answer 2

`\text{Hey there!}`

`\text{In order for you to solve for the value of m you have to flip the equation around!}`

`\text{Here is what I meant}\downarrow`

`\bf{(2)/(9)m=(2)/(3)}`

`\text{Then for your second step, you have to MULTIPLY by\ }(9)/(2)\text{\ on your sides}`

`\text{Here's what I meant}\downarrow`

`\bf{(9)/(2)((2)/(9))m=(9)/(2)((2)/(3))}`

`\text{Cancel out:}(9)/(2)((2)/(9)m)\text{\ because it equals to 1}`

`\text{Keep: \ }(9)/(2)((2)/(3))\text{\ because it helps us solve for the value of m}`

`\text{If you solved the kept one correctly, you have your answer}`

`\boxed{\boxed{\text{Answer: C. 3}}}\checkmark`

`\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}`
