Answer:

m = -1/18

Explanation:

3m+5/3= 9m +2

3m - 9m = 2 -5/3

-6m = 1/3

cross multiply

-18m = 1

divide both sides by -18

m = -1/18

Answer:


\sf m = -(1)/(18)

Explanation:

Given equation:


\sf 3m + (5)/(3) = 9m + 2

Combine like terms on both sides of the equation.


\sf 3m - 9m = 2 - (5)/(3)

Simplify the left side and right-hand side:


\sf -6m = (2* 3 -5)/(3)


\sf -6m = (1)/(3)

Divide both sides by -6 to solve for 'm'.


\sf m = (1)/(3)* (1)/(-6)


\sf m =-(1)/(18)


\sf \textsf{ So, the solution for the equation is m }=-(1)/(18)
