Question

6 = m - 7/8

Explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

Here is your equation:

`6 = m - (7)/(8)`

You're looking for m. To find m, you have to remove everything on the same side of it. On that side, you have:

`m-(7)/(8)`

You have
`-(7)/(8)`. To remove it, you have to do the opposite of it, which is
`+(7)/(8)`. To leave m alone, add
`(7)/(8)` to both sides.

`6 = m-(7)/(8) \\ \\ 6 + (7)/(8) = m-(7)/(8) + (7)/(8) \\ \\ 6 (7)/(8) = m`

You have your answer, which is
`\bf 6 (7)/(8)`
