Question

4m / 45 = 43 What does m equal?
The M,5, And 3 are exponents.
/ means divide

Answer 1

m = 15

Explanation:

to solve this question we have it to be

4^m÷4^5 = 4^3

from the question , we are going to cross multiply

we have,

4^5 × 4^ 3 = 1 × 4 ^m( since the right hand side has the same base(4) we can pick one )

4^ 5 ×3 = 4^m

multiply through by 1/4

1/4 × 4^ 5×3 = 1/4 × 4^m

5×3 = m

15 = m

therefore the value of m = 15
