2/7m-1/7=3/14

Please solve showing work

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: (2/7)m - (1/7) = 3/14
2m/7 =(3/14) + (1/7)
2m/7 = (3/14) + 2(1/7)
here we are multiplying 2 with 1/7 to make the denominator same for addition.
2m/7 = (3/14) +(2/14)
2m/7 = (3 + 2)/14
2m/7 = 5/14
2m = (5 *7)/14
2m = 35/14
2m = 5/2
m = 5/4
m = 1.25
So the value of "m" is 1.25
Answer 2
Answer:

Solution for (2)/(7)m - (1)/(7) = (3)/(14) \ is \ m = (5)/(4) \ or \ m = 1(1)/(4) \ or \ m = 1.25

Further explanation

It is a case about one variable linear quations and we have to solve the equation to get the variable m.

Our main goal is to isolate the variable m alone at the end of the process on one side of the equation, until the variable will be equal to the value on the opposite side.

Let us add (1)/(7) to both sides:

(2)/(7)m - (1)/(7) + (1)/(7) = (3)/(14) + (1)/(7)

(2)/(7)m = (3)/(14) + (1)/(7)

On the right side for the addition operation, we equate the common denominator by multiplying \ (1)/(7) \ by \ (2)/(2)

(2)/(7)m = (3)/(14) + (2)/(14)

Then we combine terms to get:

(2)/(7)m = (5)/(14)

We divide by the coefficient of m, or in other words, multiply both sides by (7)/(2):

(2)/(7)m * (7)/(2) = (5)/(14) * (7)/(2)

Finally, the solution is obtained as follows

m = (35)/(28)

We simplify fractions, both the numerator and denominator are divided equally by 7.

\boxed{ \ m = (5)/(4) \ }

In the form of mixed fractions, we get:

\boxed{ \ m = 1 (1)/(4) \ }

In decimal form, we get

m = 1 (25)/(100) \rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = 1.25 \ }

Wanna check the solution into the equation?

\big( (2)/(7) * (5)/(4) \big) - (1)/(7) = (3)/(14)

(10)/(28) - (1)/(7) = (3)/(14)

(5)/(14) - (2)/(14) = (3)/(14)

(3)/(14) = (3)/(14)

Both sides show the same value, so the solution is correct.

These are quick steps in summary:

(2)/(7)m - (1)/(7) = (3)/(14)

(2)/(7)m = (3)/(14) + (1)/(7)

(2)/(7)m = (3)/(14) + (2)/(14)

(2)/(7)m = (5)/(14)

m = (5)/(14) * (7)/(2)

m = (35)/(28)

\rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = (5)/(4) \ }

\rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = 1 (1)/(4) \ }

\rightarrow \boxed{ \ m = 1.25 \ }

Note:

The important thing to do is how to manipulate both sides of the equation with the algebraic properties of equality such as:

  • adding,
  • subtracting,
  • multiplying, and/or
  • dividing both sides of the equation with the same number.

In the form of fractions, the steps that must be considered are

  • equate the denominator,
  • simplify fractions, and
  • for the final answer, convert fractions to mixed fractions or decimal forms

All these processes can occur repeatedly until the isolated variables are obtained on one side of the equation.

Let's practice a lot until you get used to and know which operations should be done first.

It's nice that all the students in Miss Osbourne's class like pizza.
You can be sure that if you meet a student from Miss Osbourne's

But they are not an exclusive club.  They are not the only students
in the world who like pizza.  There are other people in the world who
also like pizza.  When you meet a student who likes pizza, he may be
one of those others.  He may never have even heard of Miss Osbourne.

What is one-third of 2,700?

Answers

2700* 1/3 = 2700 ÷ 3 = 900

help this helps!

Final answer:

To get one-third of a number, you divide that number by 3. When we divide 2,700 by 3, the result is 900. Therefore, one-third of 2,700 is 900.

Explanation:

To find a fraction of a whole number, we multiply the numerator of the fraction by the provided number and then divide the product by the denominator of the fraction.

To find one-third of a number, you can divide that number by 3.

In this case, to find one-third of 2,700, you simply divide 2,700 by 3.

The result when you divide 2,700 by 3 is 900

Therefore, one-third of 2,700 is 900.
