What is 5 over 6 minus m over 4 equals 1 over 3?

Answer 1

5/6 - m/4 = 1/3. First isolate the variable m, start by adding m/4 to both sides.

5/6 = 1/3 + m/4. Then subtract 1/3 from each side.

5/6 - 1/3 = m/4. Next multiply both sides by 4.

4 ( 5/6 - 1/3 ) = m. Then solve for m.

4 ( 5/6 - 2/6 ) = m.

4 ( 3/6 ) = m

4 ( 1/2 ) = m

2 = m
