Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

10 = 5m/4

Step 2: Solve for m

Multiply 4 on both sides:                    40 = 5mDivide 5 on both sides:                      8 = mRewrite:                                               m = 8

Step 3: Check

Plug in m into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in m:                    10 = 5(8)/4Multiply:                                10 = 40/4Divide:                                   10 = 10

Here we see that 10 does indeed equal 10.

∴ m = 8 is the solution to the equation.

The independent variable would be the G
