Can someone me solve this before i quit math

hello! the answer to your question would be m = 9.

alright, so to solve this problem, and problems like it is pretty easy (i feel you 100% on the quitting math thing though) all you need to do is cross multiply.

so, here is your equation:

so multiply 38(m) and 114(3),

38m = 114(3)

38m = 342

now, isolate "m" by dividing both sides by 38

38/38m = 342/38

m = 9

if you want to double check your remember that fractions are basically just the numerator (top number) divided by the denominator (bottom number) and since there is an equals sign in the two equations, we know that they're equal, so if we divide the numerator by the denominator and they equal the same thing, we know our answer is right.

38/3 = 12

114/9 = 12

so, since they both equal 12 we know our answer is right.

hope this helps, and have a great day!

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
