If m+2/5=1/2, then which of the following is true
To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable (m) on one side of the equation. First, we can simplify the left side by using the distributive property:
m + 2/5 = 1/2
m + (2/5) = (1/2) * 1
m + (2/5) = 1/2
Next, we can subtract 2/5 from both sides to eliminate it from the left side:
m + (2/5) - (2/5) = (1/2) - (2/5)
m = 1/2 - 2/5
To subtract the fractions on the right side, we need a common denominator of 10:
m = (5/10) - (4/10)
m = 1/10
Therefore, the solution is m = 1/10.
The statement that is true is: m = 1/10.
