Subtract the terms

More Steps

Simplify

m - 45 m

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(1 - 45) m

Subtract the numbers

- 44 m

- 44 m - 55 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 44 m = 0 + 55

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 44 m = 55

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

44 m = - 55

Divide both sides

\frac{44 m}{44} = \frac{- 55}{44}

Divide the numbers

m = \frac{- 55}{44}

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{- 55}{44}

Cancel out the common factor 11

\frac{- 5}{4}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

- \frac{5}{4}

m = - \frac{5}{4}

Alternative Form

m = - 1.25
