If m+2/5=1/2, then which of the following is true

Answer 1

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable (m) on one side of the equation. First, we can simplify the left side by using the distributive property:

m + 2/5 = 1/2
m + (2/5) = (1/2) * 1
m + (2/5) = 1/2

Next, we can subtract 2/5 from both sides to eliminate it from the left side:

m + (2/5) - (2/5) = (1/2) - (2/5)
m = 1/2 - 2/5

To subtract the fractions on the right side, we need a common denominator of 10:

m = (5/10) - (4/10)
m = 1/10

Therefore, the solution is m = 1/10.

The statement that is true is: m = 1/10.
