To solve for m, we'll begin by distributing the 1/3 to the terms inside the parentheses:

1/3 (m+4/6) = 5/18

(m+4/6)/3 = 5/18

Next, we multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get rid of the fraction:

m+4/6 = (5/18) * 3

m+4/6 = 15/18

Now we'll subtract 4/6 from both sides of the equation:

m+4/6 - 4/6 = 15/18 - 4/6

m = 11/18

Therefore, m is equal to 11/18.

What is the solution to the equation 1.25 (a - 3.21) = 7 when solving for a?

3.57

8.81

9.7625

2.39
To solve for a, we'll begin by distributing the 1.25 to the term inside the parentheses:

1.25 (a - 3.21) = 7

1.25a - (1.25 * 3.21) = 7

1.25a - 4.0125 = 7

Next, we'll add 4.0125 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with 'a':

1.25a - 4.0125 + 4.0125 = 7 + 4.0125

1.25a = 11.0125

Now, we'll divide both sides of the equation by 1.25 to solve for 'a':

1.25a/1.25 = 11.0125/1.25

a = 8.81

Therefore, the solution to the equation 1.25 (a - 3.21) = 7 when solving for 'a' is a = 8.81.
