Solve 8/3+3m=16

$$\frac { 8 } { 3 } + 3 m = 16$$

Solve for m

$$m = \frac{40}{9} = 4\frac{4}{9} \approx 4.444444444$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{8}{3} from both sides.

$$3m=16-\frac{8}{3}$$

Convert 16 to fraction \frac{48}{3}.

$$3m=\frac{48}{3}-\frac{8}{3}$$

Since \frac{48}{3} and \frac{8}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$3m=\frac{48-8}{3}$$

Subtract 8 from 48 to get 40.

$$3m=\frac{40}{3}$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$m=\frac{\frac{40}{3}}{3}$$

Express \frac{\frac{40}{3}}{3} as a single fraction.

$$m=\frac{40}{3\times 3}$$

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$m=\frac{40}{9}$$
