Step  2  :

             39
 Simplify   ———
            100

Equation at the end of step  2  :

    39         3m
  (——— • m) -  ——  = 0

Step  3  :

Calculating the Least Common Multiple :

 3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple

      The left denominator is :       100 

      The right denominator is :       2 

      Least Common Multiple:
      100 

Calculating Multipliers :

 3.2    Calculate multipliers for the two fractions


    Denote the Least Common Multiple by  L.C.M 
    Denote the Left Multiplier by  Left_M 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  Right_M 
    Denote the Left Deniminator by  L_Deno 
    Denote the Right Multiplier by  R_Deno 

   Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 1

   Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 50

Making Equivalent Fractions :

 3.3      Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions

Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.

For example :  1/2   and  2/4  are equivalent,  y/(y+1)²   and  (y²+y)/(y+1)³  are equivalent as well.

To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.

   L. Mult. • L. Num.      39m
   ——————————————————  =   ———
         L.C.M             100

   R. Mult. • R. Num.      3m • 50
   ——————————————————  =   ———————
         L.C.M               100  

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.4       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 39m - (3m • 50)     -111m
 ———————————————  =  —————
       100            100 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  -111m
  —————  = 0 
   100 

Step  4  :

When a fraction equals zero :

 4.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

  -111m
  ————— • 100 = 0 • 100
   100 

Now, on the left hand side, the  100  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :
   -111m  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 4.2      Solve  :    -111m = 0 

 Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  111m = 0


Divide both sides of the equation by 111:
                     m = 0
