Question 990663: I understand most of my homework, but every time I try to calculate it, it comes out wrong, here's an example of one of the questions on my homework: 15-(4m-5)=32 and you solve for m, it looks easy, but I need help.

15 -(4m-5) = 32

15 - 4m + 5 = 32

-4m + 20 = 32

-4m = 32 - 20

-4m = 12

-4m/-4 = 12/-4

m = -3

To verify,

15 -(4m-5) = 32 --> 15 - (4(-3) - 5) = 32

15 - (-12-5) = 32 --> 15 - (-17) = 32

15 + 17 = 32

Therefore, m = -3 is your answer.
