Answer:

The answer is 0.375 (3/8)

Explanation:

Since the M is subtracted by 5/8, you add 5/8 to both sides of the equation to get the M by itself and -1/4+5/8 equals 0.375, or 3/8

M-5/8 = -1/4

Add 5/8 to both sides:

M = -1/4 + 5/8

Rewrite the fractions to have a common denominator

-1/4 = -2/8

Now you have m = -2/8 + 5/8

M = 3/8
