3.73=[6.67E-11 * M] / (3.39E6)^2, solve for M

Solve for M:

3.73 = 5.80399×10^-24 M

3.73 = 5.80399×10^-24 M is equivalent to 5.80399×10^-24 M = 3.73:

5.80399×10^-24 M = 3.73

Multiply both sides of 5.80399×10^-24 M = 3.73 by 1.72295×10^23:

1.72295×10^23×5.80399×10^-24 M = 1.72295×10^23×3.73

1.72295×10^23×5.80399×10^-24 = 1.:

1. M = 1.72295×10^23×3.73

1.72295×10^23×3.73 = 6.42662×10^23:

1. M = 6.42662×10^23

Multiply both sides of 1. M = 6.42662×10^23 by 1.:

1.×1. M = 1.×6.42662×10^23

1.×1. = 1.^2:

1.^2 M = 1.×6.42662×10^23

1.^2 = 1:

1 M = 1.×6.42662×10^23

1.×6.42662×10^23 = 6.42662×10^23:

Answer: |M = 6.42662×10^23 Kg.
