Question

What is the value of m in the equation 1/2m - 3/4n = 16 , when n=8?

Answer 1

m = 44

Explanation:

1/2m - 3/4n = 16

Replace n with 8.

1/2m - (3/4)(8) = 16

1/2 m - 6 = 16

Add 6 to both sides.

1/2 m = 22

Multiply both sides by 2.

m = 44

Answer 2

`(1)/(2) m - (3)/(4) n = 16 \\ (1)/(2) m - 6 = 16 \\ (1)/(2) m = 22 \\ m = 44`
