Three ways to solve for \(m\)
\(\frac{1}{2}m=-4\)
Multiply both sides by \(2\) to get rid of the number in the denominator and get the fraction into a whole number
\(1m=-8\)
Divide both sides by \(1\)
\(m=-8\)
\(\frac{1}{2}m=-4\)
Divide both sides by \(\frac{1}{2}\) To divide by a fraction, use the recipical which will be \(\frac{2}{1}\) and then multiply the recipical by both sides
\(m=\frac{-8}{1}\)
Move the negetive in front of the fraction
\(m=-\frac{8}{1}\)
Divide by \(1\)
\(m=-8\)
\(\frac{1}{2}m=-4\)
Convert \(\frac{1}{2}\) into decimal form by dividing \(1\) by \(2\)
\(0.5m=-4\)
Divide both sides by \(0.5\)
\(m=-8\)
