Solve 2m=5m-8/5

$$2 m = 5 m - \frac { 8 } { 5 }$$

Solve for m

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

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract 5m from both sides.

$$2m-5m=-\frac{8}{5}$$

Combine 2m and -5m to get -3m.

$$-3m=-\frac{8}{5}$$

Divide both sides by -3.

$$m=\frac{-\frac{8}{5}}{-3}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{8}{5}}{-3} as a single fraction.

$$m=\frac{-8}{5\left(-3\right)}$$

Multiply 5 and -3 to get -15.

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

Fraction \frac{-8}{-15} can be simplified to \frac{8}{15} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

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