Exercise 18 Page 206

To solve the equation, we have to isolate m on one side. Let's use the Multiplication Property of Equality and multiply both sides of the equation by 3.54. This will eliminate the denominator of the fraction and isolate m. m ÷ 3.54 &= 1.5 m ÷ 3.54 * 3.54 &= 1.5 * 3.54 m &=Now, let's perform the multiplication to find the value of m and complete the boxes!

m ÷ 3.54 * 3.54 =1.5 * 3.54

m=5.31

The value of m is 5.31. m ÷ 3.54 &= 1.5 m ÷ 3.54 * 3.54 &= 1.5 * 3.54 m &= 5.31
