Question

Solve the following equation $\frac{5}{12}$ 𝑚 − 12 = 48

Answer 1

Step: Find the value of m

We have,

$\frac{5}{12}$ m - 12 = 48

Now, transposing 12 to RHS we get,

⇒ $\frac{5}{12}$ m = 48 + 12

⇒ $\frac{5}{12}$ m = 60

Now, transposing 12 to RHS we get,

⇒ 5m = 60 × 12

Now, transposing 5 to RHS we get,

⇒ m = $\frac{60\times 12}{5}$

⇒ m = 12 × 12

⇒ m = 144

∴ The value of m = 144.
