Greetings!

"Solve:
2/7m-1/7=3/14."...

Solve for m.

2/7m-1/7=3/14
Add 1/7 to both sides.

(2/7m-1/7)+1/7=(3/14)+1/7
Simplify.

2/7m=(3/14)+1/7
Find a common denominator.

2/7m=(3/14)+2/14

2/7m=5/14
Multiply both sides by 7/2.

(2/7m)*7/2=(5/14)*7/2
Simplify.

m=35/28

m=5/4

The variable is equal to 5/4.

Hope this helps.

Add 1/7 to each side.
2/7m=5/14

Multiply both sides by 14
4m=5

Divide both sides by 4
m=5/4

The answer is m=5/4.

Hope this helps!
