-7%281-4m%29=13%282m-3%29 Start with the given equation.


-7%2B28m=26m-39 Distribute.


28m=26m-39%2B7 Add 7 to both sides.


28m-26m=-39%2B7 Subtract 26m from both sides.


2m=-39%2B7 Combine like terms on the left side.


2m=-32 Combine like terms on the right side.


m=%28-32%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate m.


m=-16 Reduce.
