Question 10
$3m=5m-\frac{8}{5}$

Answer 1

$3m=5m-\frac{8}{5}$
$\Rightarrow 3m-5m=\frac{-8}{5}$
$\Rightarrow -2m=\frac{-8}{5}$
$\Rightarrow m=\frac{-8}{5\times (-2)}$
$\Rightarrow m=\frac{4}{5}$
To check:
$3m=5m-\frac{8}{5}$
$\Rightarrow 3\times \frac{4}{5}=5\times \frac{4}{5}-\frac{8}{5}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{12}{5}=4-\frac{8}{5}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{12}{5}=\frac{20-8}{5}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{12}{5}=\frac{12}{5}$
$\Rightarrow L.H.S.=R.H.S$
Hence, it is correct.
