Question

3m-n=km-8, solve for m

Answer 1

Add n on both sides:

3m = km - 8 + n

Subtract km on both sides:

3m - km = n - 8

Factor the Left-Hand Side:

m(3 - k) = n - 8

Divide both sides by (3 - k):

m = (n - 8) / (3 - k)

Answer 2

(8-n)/(k-3) =m

Explanation:

3m-n=km-8

Subtract 3m from each side

3m -3m-n=km -3m-8

-n =km -3m-8

Add 8 to each side

8-n =km -3m-8+8

8-n =km -3m

Factor out m

8-n =m(k -3)

Divide by (k-3)

(8-n)/(k-3) =m(k -3)/( k-3)

(8-n)/(k-3) =m
