Multiply by 4: We are given the equation 4m=4. To solve for m, we need to isolate m on one side of the equation. We can do this by multiplying both sides of the equation by 4.
Simplify equation: Multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to get m on its own. So, 4m×4=4×4.
Substitute and check: Simplify both sides of the equation. The 4 on the left side cancels out with the 4 in the denominator, leaving m=16.
Verify solution: Check the solution by substituting m back into the original equation to ensure the left side equals the right side. So, 416 should equal 4.
Verify solution: Check the solution by substituting m back into the original equation to ensure the left side equals the right side. So, 416 should equal 4. Calculate 416 to verify it equals 4. Indeed, 416=4, which confirms our solution is correct.
