Question

Solve the equation.
-3.3m = -1.1
m =
Solve for n! Thank you!!!!

Answer 1

`m=1/3=0.\bar3`

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`-3.3m=-1.1`

To solve for m, let's divide both sides by -3.3. So:

`(-3.3m)/(-3.3)=(-1.1)/(-3.3)`

On the left, the -3.3s cancel. On the right, cancel the negatives. So:

`m=(1.1)/(3.3)`

On the right, multiply both layers by 10 to get rid of the decimals. So:

`m=(1.1)/(3.3)\cdot((10)/(10))`

Multiply:

`m=(11)/(33)`

Now, we can reduce. Divide both layers by 11. So:

`m=(11/11)/(33/11)`

Simplify:

`m=1/3=0.\bar3`

And we're done!
