Question

which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the fractions before solving?
$-\frac{3}{4}m - \frac{1}{2} = 2 + \frac{1}{4}m$

Explanation:

Step1: Identify denominators

The denominators in the equation \(-\frac{3}{4}m - \frac{1}{2}=2+\frac{1}{4}m\) are \(4\) and \(2\).

Step2: Find LCM of denominators

The least common multiple (LCM) of \(4\) and \(2\) is \(4\). Multiplying each term by \(4\) will eliminate the fractions.

Answer:

\(4\)
