Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

 (1): "m2"   was replaced by   "m^2". 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  23m2 -  6m  = 0 

Step  2  :

Step  3  :

Pulling out like terms :

 3.1     Pull out like factors :

   8m² - 6m  =   2m • (4m - 3) 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  2m • (4m - 3)  = 0 

Step  4  :

Theory - Roots of a product :

 4.1    A product of several terms equals zero. 

 When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero. 

 We shall now solve each term = 0 separately 

 In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product 

 Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    2m = 0 

 Divide both sides of the equation by 2:
                     m = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.3      Solve  :    4m-3 = 0 

 Add  3  to both sides of the equation : 
                      4m = 3
Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
                     m = 3/4 = 0.750

Two solutions were found :

1.  m = 3/4 = 0.750
   
2.  m = 0
