How do you solve for m in #4m-t=m#?

Answer 1

Julia Adams

#m = t/3#

#4m - t = m# #4m = m + t# #4m - m = t# #3m = t# #m = t/3#

To solve for ( m ) in the equation ( 4m - t = m ), you need to isolate ( m ) on one side of the equation.

Here's how you do it:

Start by subtracting ( m ) from both sides of the equation to move all terms involving ( m ) to one side: [ 4m - m - t = 0 ]
Simplify the equation: [ 3m - t = 0 ]
Add ( t ) to both sides to isolate ( m ): [ 3m = t ]
Finally, divide both sides by 3 to solve for ( m ): [ m = \frac{t}{3} ]

So, ( m = \frac{t}{3} ) is the solution for ( m ) in the equation ( 4m - t = m ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
