Solution for (m-5)(5m-1)=(m-1)(12m-5) equation:


Simplifying
(m + -5)(5m + -1) = (m + -1)(12m + -5)

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + m)(5m + -1) = (m + -1)(12m + -5)

Reorder the terms:
(-5 + m)(-1 + 5m) = (m + -1)(12m + -5)

Multiply (-5 + m) * (-1 + 5m)
(-5(-1 + 5m) + m(-1 + 5m)) = (m + -1)(12m + -5)
((-1 * -5 + 5m * -5) + m(-1 + 5m)) = (m + -1)(12m + -5)
((5 + -25m) + m(-1 + 5m)) = (m + -1)(12m + -5)
(5 + -25m + (-1 * m + 5m * m)) = (m + -1)(12m + -5)
(5 + -25m + (-1m + 5m2)) = (m + -1)(12m + -5)

Combine like terms: -25m + -1m = -26m
(5 + -26m + 5m2) = (m + -1)(12m + -5)

Reorder the terms:
5 + -26m + 5m2 = (-1 + m)(12m + -5)

Reorder the terms:
5 + -26m + 5m2 = (-1 + m)(-5 + 12m)

Multiply (-1 + m) * (-5 + 12m)
5 + -26m + 5m2 = (-1(-5 + 12m) + m(-5 + 12m))
5 + -26m + 5m2 = ((-5 * -1 + 12m * -1) + m(-5 + 12m))
5 + -26m + 5m2 = ((5 + -12m) + m(-5 + 12m))
5 + -26m + 5m2 = (5 + -12m + (-5 * m + 12m * m))
5 + -26m + 5m2 = (5 + -12m + (-5m + 12m2))

0 + -26m + 5m2 = 5 + -17m + -5 + 12m2
-26m + 5m2 = 5 + -17m + -5 + 12m2

Reorder the terms:
-26m + 5m2 = 5 + -5 + -17m + 12m2

Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0
-26m + 5m2 = 0 + -17m + 12m2
-26m + 5m2 = -17m + 12m2

Solving
-26m + 5m2 = -17m + 12m2

Solving for variable 'm'.

Reorder the terms:
-26m + 17m + 5m2 + -12m2 = -17m + 12m2 + 17m + -12m2

Combine like terms: -26m + 17m = -9m
-9m + 5m2 + -12m2 = -17m + 12m2 + 17m + -12m2

Combine like terms: 5m2 + -12m2 = -7m2
-9m + -7m2 = -17m + 12m2 + 17m + -12m2

Reorder the terms:
-9m + -7m2 = -17m + 17m + 12m2 + -12m2

Combine like terms: -17m + 17m = 0
-9m + -7m2 = 0 + 12m2 + -12m2
-9m + -7m2 = 12m2 + -12m2

Combine like terms: 12m2 + -12m2 = 0
-9m + -7m2 = 0

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '-1m'.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor 'm' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying m = 0 Solving m = 0 Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Simplifying m = 0

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(9 + 7m)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 9 + 7m = 0 Solving 9 + 7m = 0 Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-9' to each side of the equation. 9 + -9 + 7m = 0 + -9 Combine like terms: 9 + -9 = 0 0 + 7m = 0 + -9 7m = 0 + -9 Combine like terms: 0 + -9 = -9 7m = -9 Divide each side by '7'. m = -1.285714286 Simplifying m = -1.285714286

Solution

m = {0, -1.285714286}
