How do you solve #(5m)/6 + (2m)/3 = 9/2#?

Answer 1

Savannah Anderson

It is #(5m)/6+(2m)/3=9/2=>(5m)/6+(4m)/6=9/2=>9m/6=9/2=>m=3#

To solve the equation (5m)/6 + (2m)/3 = 9/2, you can start by finding a common denominator for the fractions. In this case, the common denominator is 6. Multiply each term by 6 to eliminate the denominators. This gives you (5m)/6 * 6 + (2m)/3 * 6 = 9/2 * 6. Simplifying, you get 5m + 4m = 27. Combining like terms, you have 9m = 27. Divide both sides of the equation by 9 to solve for m. The solution is m = 3.
