In summary, the value of m in an algebraic equation is dependent on the given equation and the values of the other variables. It can be solved using algebraic methods such as substitution, elimination, or graphing. It is also possible to use a calculator, but it is important to understand the manual steps involved. In algebra, m typically represents a variable or unknown value and is commonly used to find missing values in equations and formulas. When solving for m, it is crucial to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS) to ensure accuracy. Additionally, there are alternative methods such as using matrices or the quadratic formula, depending on the type of equation. It is essential to understand the different methods and choose the most suitable one for the

ok, so I'm kinda stuck on this question. Please help!

If m^15 = 48/y and m^13 = 2/6y, and m > 0
what is the value of m? :bugeye:

Those y's are a nuisance since we do not know its value. Can you think of a way of combining the two equations to obtain a new "y-free" one?

Hi,
You need to show us some work or tell us what you've tried or think you might need to try.

You have 2 equations and 2 unknowns...

Welcome, BTW.
