Given: 10m-p=-n%2Bpm, Solve for m.
'
10m-pm-p=-n, additive inverse
m%2810-p%29-p=-n, combine like terms, or distributive property
m%2810-p%29=-n%2Bp, additive inverse
m=%28-n%2Bp%29%2F%2810-p%29, multiplicative inverse
if desired, m=%28p-n%29%2F%2810-p%29, commutative property of addition

10m-p=-n+pm, solve for m

10m - p = - n + pm
10m - pm = p - n
m(10 - p) = p - n
highlight_green%28m+=+%28p+-+n%29%2F%2810+-+p%29%29, or highlight_green%28m+=+%28-+n+%2B+p%29%2F%2810+-+p%29%29
