A) get rid of the fraction by finding the common denominator, 4. multiplying by 4 on both sides, I usually have it turned into a fraction, 4/1. The 2x=3/4, is now 8x=12/4 will be set as 8x=3. Divide 8, x=3/8.
B) The common denominator is 15. Multiply on both sides, -2/5 times 15/1 is -30/5 which becomes -6. And m/3 times 15/1 is 15m/3, 5m. divide the 5 and your answer is m=-5/6
