Solve the following equation
0.5m+m+m-5=100
Solve for m
0.5m + m + m - 5 = 100
Group the m terms on the left:
(0.5 + 1 + 1)m = 2.5m
Form modified equation
2.5m - 5 = + 100
Divide each side by 0.5
| 0.5m | |
| 0.5 |
| = |
| -5 |
| 0.5 |
Group constants
Group our constants -5 and 100.
add 5 to both sides
2.5m - 5 + 5 = 100 + 5
Cancel 5 on the left side:
2.5m = 105
Divide each side of the equation by 2.5
| 2.5m | |
| 2.5 |
| = |
| 105 |
| 2.5 |
m = 42
Final Answer
m = 42
