Answer:

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

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!
