Isolate the variable : Isolate the variable on one side of the equation.To do this, we will subtract from both sides of the equation to move the m terms to one side.\newline121212.666 + 444m - 444m = 999.666 + 888m - 444m\newlineThis simplifies to:\newline121212.666 = 999.666 + 444m
Subtract 9.69.69.6 to isolate mmm: Subtract 9.69.69.6 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with mmm.\newline12.6−9.6=9.6−9.6+4m12.6 - 9.6 = 9.6 - 9.6 + 4m12.6−9.6=9.6−9.6+4m\newlineThis simplifies to:\newline3=4m3 = 4m3=4m
Divide by 444 to solve for m: Divide both sides of the equation by 444 to solve for m.\newline34=4m4\frac{3}{4} = \frac{4m}{4}43=44m\newlineThis simplifies to:\newlinem=0.75m = 0.75m=0.75
