Solve 1/3+m=13/15

$$\frac { 1 } { 3 } + m = \frac { 13 } { 15 }$$

Solve for m

$$m=\frac{8}{15}\approx 0.533333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{1}{3} from both sides.

$$m=\frac{13}{15}-\frac{1}{3}$$

Least common multiple of 15 and 3 is 15. Convert \frac{13}{15} and \frac{1}{3} to fractions with denominator 15.

$$m=\frac{13}{15}-\frac{5}{15}$$

Since \frac{13}{15} and \frac{5}{15} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$m=\frac{13-5}{15}$$

Subtract 5 from 13 to get 8.

$$m=\frac{8}{15}$$
