Question

Solve for m1!!!!!!???????

Answer 1

`(v2*m2)/(2*v1 - v2) = m1`

Explanation:

multiply both sides of the equation by (m1 + m2). Bring v1 to the numerator.

v2(m1 + m2) = 2m1 * v1 Remove the brackets on the left.

v2*m1 + v2*m2 = 2*m1*v1 Subtract v2 m1 from both sides.

v2*m2 = 2m1*v1 - v2*m1 Use the distributive property to get m1 alone on the right.

v2*m2 = m1(2*v1 - v2) Divide both sides by (2*v1 - v2)

`(v2*m2)/(2*v1 - v2) = m1`
