## anonymous 5 years ago hello. I need to solve mn= 3m-2 please?

1. anonymous

What variable are you solving for? (:

2. anonymous

oh, for m

3. anonymous

4. anonymous

Okay hold on sorry my parents are talking to me.

5. anonymous

no problem sorry

6. anonymous

you're really not supposed to divide by a variable but i think thats the only way to do this.

7. anonymous

if no solution is an option that would be your answer because even if you divide by n first then divide by m your m's will cancel to out to a 1. i think.

8. anonymous

but if its for n, then your m's cancel out and you get a 1

9. anonymous

Ya thats what i was thinking because she said solve for m...

10. anonymous

$mn = 3m-2 \iff m(3-n) = 2 \iff m = \frac{2}{3-n}$

11. anonymous

m=-2/(n-3)

12. anonymous

$\text{Note } n \not= 3$

13. anonymous

M = 2

14. anonymous

ok, thank you all so much!

15. anonymous

Welcome (: haha i just gave you the answer.. He explained it (:

16. anonymous

(M = 2 isn't the answer)

17. anonymous
