Question

Steven has some money. If he spends $9.00, then he will have 3/5 of the amount he started with​

Answer 1

m - 9 = 3/5 m (Steve has some money. After spending $9, he now has 3/5 of his original amount)

So it's just the matter of isolating m. Subtract m from both sides:

-9 = -2/5 m

Now you just need to multiply both sides by -5/2 to get your final answer.
