The number by which each term of the equation can be multiplied to eliminate the decimals is; 100.
As evident in the question, the numbers and their decimal placement are as follows;
- 0.02 has it's lowest decimal place at the hundredth term.
- 2.1 has it's lowest decimal place at the tenth term
- 1.45 has it's lowest decimal place at the hundredth term
- 4.81 has it's lowest decimal place at the hundredth term
Since, the lowest decimal placement of numbers in the whole expression is the hundredth.
We can therefore multiply all terms of the equation by 100 to eliminate the decimals before solving.
Therefore, we have;
-100m + 2 + 210m = -145 - 481m.
