Identify equation and solve: Identify the equation and what needs to be solved.We have the equation (43)=m+(41) and we need to find the value of m.
Isolate variable m: Isolate the variable m on one side of the equation.To do this, we will subtract 41 from both sides of the equation to get m by itself.43−41=m+41−41
Perform subtraction: Perform the subtraction on both sides.(43)−(41)=mThis simplifies to:(42)=m
Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction on the left side of the equation.(42) can be simplified to (21) because 2 is a common factor of both the numerator and the denominator.(21)=m
