Answer:

m = 36

Explanation:

Step 1:

3 ( 1/2m -3 ) = 45

Step 2:

3/2m - 9 = 45

Step 3:

3/2m = 54

Step 4:

54 ÷ 3/2

Step 5:

54/1 × 2/3

Answer:

m = 36

Answer:

m=36

Explanation:

We can solve for this equation by isolating
on one side. To do this, we can "reverse" the equation.

3((1)/(2)m - 3) = 45

Let's divide both sides by 3.

$3((1)/(2)m-3)/3 = 45/3\\\\(1)/(2)m - 3 = 15$

Add 3 to both sides:

$(1)/(2)m - 3 + 3 = 15 + 3\\\\(1)/(2)m = 18$

Multiply both sides by two (since
$(1)/(2)\cdot2=1$ )

$(1)/(2)m \cdot 2 = 18 \cdot 2\\\\m = 36$

Hope this helped!
