The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( m \) such that the point \( (m, 2m - 1) \) lies on the line given by the equation \[ \frac{3x}{5} - \frac{2y}{3} + 1 = 0, \] we will substitute \( x = m \) and \( y = 2m - 1 \) into the equation and solve for \( m \). ### Step 1: Substitute the point into the equation Substituting \( x = m \) and \( y = 2m - 1 \) into the equation: \[ \frac{3m}{5} - \frac{2(2m - 1)}{3} + 1 = 0. \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equation Now, simplify the left-hand side: \[ \frac{3m}{5} - \frac{4m - 2}{3} + 1 = 0. \] ### Step 3: Combine the terms To combine the fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 5 and 3 is 15. Thus, we rewrite each term: \[ \frac{3m \cdot 3}{15} - \frac{(4m - 2) \cdot 5}{15} + \frac{15}{15} = 0. \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{9m}{15} - \frac{20m - 10}{15} + \frac{15}{15} = 0. \] ### Step 4: Combine the fractions Now, combine the fractions: \[ \frac{9m - (20m - 10) + 15}{15} = 0. \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{9m - 20m + 10 + 15}{15} = 0. \] ### Step 5: Simplify further Combine like terms: \[ \frac{-11m + 25}{15} = 0. \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( m \) To eliminate the fraction, multiply both sides by 15: \[ -11m + 25 = 0. \] Rearranging gives: \[ -11m = -25 \implies m = \frac{25}{11}. \] ### Step 7: Convert to mixed fraction To convert \( \frac{25}{11} \) to a mixed fraction, divide 25 by 11: \[ 25 \div 11 = 2 \quad \text{(remainder 3)}. \] Thus, \[ \frac{25}{11} = 2 \frac{3}{11}. \] ### Final Answer The value of \( m \) is \[ \frac{25}{11} \quad \text{or} \quad 2 \frac{3}{11}. \] ---
