-5%28-m%2B3%29=-10m%2B30 Start with the given equation.



5m-15=-10m%2B30 Distribute.



5m=-10m%2B30%2B15 Add 15 to both sides.



5m%2B10m=30%2B15 Add 10m to both sides.



15m=30%2B15 Combine like terms on the left side.



15m=45 Combine like terms on the right side.



m=%2845%29%2F%2815%29 Divide both sides by 15 to isolate m.



m=3 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is m=3
