Question

Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving? -3/4m-1/2=2+1/4m

Answer 1

4m

Explanation:

To get rid of fractions before solving we have to multiply by 4m

then we have:

4m * ( -3/4m - 1/2 ) = ( 2 + 1/4m)* 4m

The equation become :

4m * (-3/4m) - 4m (1/2) = 2 * 4m + (1/4m)*4m

-3 - 2m = 8m + 1
