5%28m-3%29=7%2B3m Start with the given equation.


5m-15=7%2B3m Distribute.


5m=7%2B3m%2B15 Add 15 to both sides.


5m-3m=7%2B15 Subtract 3m from both sides.


2m=7%2B15 Combine like terms on the left side.


2m=22 Combine like terms on the right side.


m=%2822%29%2F%282%29 Divide both sides by 2 to isolate m.


m=11 Reduce.
