4%283-m%29=5%282m%2B1%29 Start with the given equation.


12-4m=10m%2B5 Distribute.


-4m=10m%2B5-12 Subtract 12 from both sides.


-4m-10m=5-12 Subtract 10m from both sides.


-14m=5-12 Combine like terms on the left side.


-14m=-7 Combine like terms on the right side.


m=%28-7%29%2F%28-14%29 Divide both sides by -14 to isolate m.


m=1%2F2 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is m=1%2F2
