Question

2) Solve for m: 2.6m = 8.06​

Answer 1

Answer: m = 3.1

Explanation:

To solve for m you must divide 2.6m by 2.6m. Therefore, you must do the same on the other side of the equation.

2.6m/2.6m = 8.06/2.6m

m= 3.1

Answer 2

`m=3.1.`

Explanation:

1. Write the equation.

`2.6m = 8.06`

2. Divide by 2.6 in both sides of the equation.

`(2.6)/(2.6) m=(8.06)/(2.6)\\ \\(1)m=(8.06)/(2.6)\\ \\m=(8.06)/(2.6)`

3. Simplify the fraction.

`m=(8.06)/(2.6)\\ \\m=3.1`

4 Verify the answer by substituting the calculated value by x in the original equation.

`2.6(3.1) = 8.06\\8.06=8.06`

That's correct!

5. Express the final result.

`m=3.1.`
