Question

How do you solve `(-6m-3)/4=(2m+5)/-2`?

Answer 1

Given
`color(white)("XXX")(-6m-3)/4=(2m+5)/(-2)`

`rArrcolor(white)("XXX")(-6m-3)/color(magenta)4=(2m+5)/(-2)color(orange)( xx (-2)/(-2)) = (-4m-10)/color(magenta)4`

`rArrcolor(white)("XXX")-6m-3=-4m-10`

`rArrcolor(white)("XXX")6m+3=4m+10`

`rArrcolor(white)("XXX")2m=7`

`rArrcolor(white)("XXX")m=3 1/2`
