Solve -1/2=-0.3-m/3

$$- \frac { 1 } { 2 } = - \frac { 0.3 - m } { 3 }$$

Solve for m

$$m=-1.2$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.

$$-3=-2\left(0.3-m\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply -2 by 0.3-m.

$$-3=-0.6+2m$$

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

$$-0.6+2m=-3$$

Add 0.6 to both sides.

$$2m=-3+0.6$$

Add -3 and 0.6 to get -2.4.

$$2m=-2.4$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$m=\frac{-2.4}{2}$$

Expand \frac{-2.4}{2} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$m=\frac{-24}{20}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-24}{20} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$m=-\frac{6}{5}$$
