Ok so I don't know if it is (5m)/4 or 5(m/4) so I'll solve both

If it's (5m)/4 :

(5m)/4 = 10
5m = 10 x 4 = 40
m = 40/5 = 8

If it's 5(m/4)

5(m/4) = 10
m/4 = 10/5 = 2

m = 2 x 4 = 8

(same answers but different solutions so might as well)

Answer:


m=8

Explanation:

Given the following question:


10=(5m)/(4)

In order to find the answer, we have to remember when we have a two-step equation like this to multiply on both sides, and then divide both sides to isolate the variable.


10=(5m)/(4)

4*10=40

40=5m

5m=40

5m/5=m

40/5=8

m=8

Hope this helps.
