1.6 + 0.6m = 2.4m

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2.4m' to each side of the equation.
1.6 + 0.6m + -2.4m = 2.4m + -2.4m

Combine like terms: 0.6m + -2.4m = -1.8m
1.6 + -1.8m = 2.4m + -2.4m

Combine like terms: 2.4m + -2.4m = 0.0
1.6 + -1.8m = 0.0

Add '-1.6' to each side of the equation.
1.6 + -1.6 + -1.8m = 0.0 + -1.6

Combine like terms: 1.6 + -1.6 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.8m = 0.0 + -1.6
-1.8m = 0.0 + -1.6

Combine like terms: 0.0 + -1.6 = -1.6
-1.8m = -1.6

Divide each side by '-1.8'.
m = 0.8888888889

Simplifying
m = 0.8888888889
