Solve 65/m=2/x

$$\frac { 65 } { m } = \frac { 2 } { x }$$

Solve for m

$$m=\frac{65x}{2}$$

$$x\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable m cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by mx, the least common multiple of m,x.

$$x\times 65=m\times 2$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$m\times 2=x\times 65$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$2m=65x$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$\frac{2m}{2}=\frac{65x}{2}$$

Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.

$$m=\frac{65x}{2}$$

Variable m cannot be equal to 0.

$$m=\frac{65x}{2}\text{, }m\neq 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{2m}{65}$$

$$m\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by mx, the least common multiple of m,x.

$$x\times 65=m\times 2$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$65x=2m$$

Divide both sides by 65.

$$\frac{65x}{65}=\frac{2m}{65}$$

Dividing by 65 undoes the multiplication by 65.

$$x=\frac{2m}{65}$$

Variable x cannot be equal to 0.

$$x=\frac{2m}{65}\text{, }x\neq 0$$
