Use the Division Property of Equality to eliminate the multiplication.
m=3/2
We will solve the equation by isolating m on one side. We can use the the Division Property of Equality to divide both sides of the equation by 4. This will eliminate the multiplication of the variable and isolate m. Let's do it!
.LHS /4.=.RHS /4.
a = 4* a/4
.a /2./.b /2.=a/b
Simplify quotient
The value of m that makes the equation true is 32.

|---|---|---|
| Addition Property of Equality | If a=b, then a+c=b+c. | |
| Subtraction Property of Equality | If a=b, then a-c=b-c. | |
| Multiplication Property of Equality | If a=b, then ac=bc. | |
| Division Property of Equality | If a=b and c is not 0, then ac= bc. | |
