how do you work this math problem?
m+3/8=1/2


Sagot :

Most important rule of Pre- algebra and algebra, do the opposite operation.
So what you do is subtract 3/8 to isolate the variable. 1/2 = 4/8 so just do 4/8-3/8 and get 1/8 so m = 1/8
[tex]m+ \frac{3}{8}= \frac{1}{2} \ \ /*8\\ \\ 8m +\frac{3}{\not8^1}*\not8^1 =\frac{1}{\not2^1}*\not8^4\\ \\8m+3=4\\ \\8m=4-3\\ \\8m=1 \ \ /:8 \\ \\ \frac{8}{8}*m =\frac{1}{8}\\ \\m=\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
