Question

I need help with multistep equations
​

Answer 1

`\large \boxed{\sf m = (5)/(3) }}`

Explanation:

2/3 = m + 3/5 - 8/5

Subtract the fractions since the denominators are same.

2/3 = m -5/5

Simplify the equation.

2/3 = m - 1

Add 1 to each side.

5/3 = m

Answer 2

1 2/3 = m

Explanation:

2/3 = m+3/5 -8/5

Combine terms

2/3 = m-5/5

2/3 = m -1

Add 1 to each side

2/3 +1 = m-1+1

2/3 +3/3 = m

5/3 = m

1 2/3 = m
