Answer:

m =
(Rvt-vbt)/(Rb-vb)

Explanation:

given


(m)/(v) -
(t)/(b) =
(m-t)/(R)

Express the difference on the left side as a single fraction with common denominator of vb


(bm-vt)/(vb) =
(m-t)/(R) ( cross- multiply )

R(bm - vt ) = vb(m - t) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

Rbm - Rvt = vbm - vbt ( subtract vbm from both sides )

Rbm - vbm - Rvt = - vbt ( add Rvt to both sides )

Rbm - vbm = Rvt - vbt ( factor out the common factor m on left side )

m(Rb - vb) = Rvt - vbt ( divide both sides by (Rb - vb) )

m =
(Rvt-vbt)/(Rb-vb)
