So, my homework problem says, "Solve the following equation for m. p = 6n - 5m/14."
My answer was m = 6n/5 - 14p/5
I checked my answer on an online calculator, and it said the answer was
m = 2 (7p - 3n)/5
Which answer is correct? I have a feeling I'm wrong, but I'm not sure.
My answer was m = 6n/5 - 14p/5

Its the same answer, the calculator just factored out the two. So your answer is correct.

lets see multiply by 14 on both sides
14p=6n -5m
subtract 6n
14p-6n=-5m
divide by negative 5
-14p+6n/5=m
i'm right believe me i have a strong talent for math
wait lol he's right the second answer is just the first one factored
14p=6n -5m
subtract 6n
14p-6n=-5m
divide by negative 5
-14p+6n/5=m
i'm right believe me i have a strong talent for math

Your answer is correct.

p = 6*n - (5/14)*m
(5/14)*m = 6*n - p
m = (14/5)*(6*n - p)
m = (84/5)*n - (14/5)*p
(5/14)*m = 6*n - p
m = (14/5)*(6*n - p)
m = (84/5)*n - (14/5)*p
