Solve 1m*1m=1m^2

$$1 m \times 1 m = 1 m ^ { 2 }$$

Solve for m (complex solution)

$$m\in \mathrm{C}$$

Solution Steps

Cancel out 1 on both sides.

$$m\times 1m=m^{2}$$

Multiply m and m to get m^{2}.

$$m^{2}\times 1=m^{2}$$

Subtract m^{2} from both sides.

$$m^{2}\times 1-m^{2}=0$$

Combine m^{2}\times 1 and -m^{2} to get 0.

$$0=0$$

Compare 0 and 0.

$$\text{true}$$

This is true for any m.

$$m\in \mathrm{C}$$

Solve for m

$$m\in \mathrm{R}$$

Solution Steps

Cancel out 1 on both sides.

$$m\times 1m=m^{2}$$

Multiply m and m to get m^{2}.

$$m^{2}\times 1=m^{2}$$

Subtract m^{2} from both sides.

$$m^{2}\times 1-m^{2}=0$$

Combine m^{2}\times 1 and -m^{2} to get 0.

$$0=0$$

Compare 0 and 0.

$$\text{true}$$

This is true for any m.

$$m\in \mathrm{R}$$
