You can put this solution on YOUR website! To solve this equation in terms of m, you must isolate m to one side of the equation. To do so, see the following.
First let us add 7m to both sides =
Second let us subtract 4 from both sides =
Third we divide each side by 5 to isolate the variable m =
Now that we have solved for m, let us check to see if that is the correct solution.
Substitute 5 for m in the original equation and solve following the order of operations.
First do any multiplication =
Then simplify any subtraction and/or addition
=
Since both sides of the equation equal, which is what is called for, then m=-6 is the correct answer.
