Answer: -4.538

Step-by-step explanation: -8=1.3m-2.1

add 2.1 to both sides to get 1.3m=-5.9

divide both sides by 1.3 to get -5.9/1.3

-4.538

Check

1.3(-4.538)-2.1=-7.999

round it to equal -8

Answer:

m=−4.538462

Explanation:

Step 1: Flip the equation.

1.3m−2.1=−8

Step 2: Add 2.1 to both sides.

1.3m−2.1+2.1=−8+2.1

1.3m=−5.9

Step 3: Divide both sides by 1.3.

1.3m

1.3

=

−5.9

1.3
