Distribute multiplication: To solve for m, we need to distribute the multiplication of 0.15 to both terms inside the parentheses (8.6−s).Calculation: m=0.15×8.6−0.15×s
Calculate first term: Now, we multiply 0.15 by 8.6 to get the first term.Calculation: 0.15×8.6=1.29
Write expression for m: Next, we write down the expression for m with the calculated first term.Calculation: m=1.29−0.15s
Isolate and simplify m: Since there is no further simplification or calculation needed, we have isolated m and expressed it in terms of s.
