-2m%2B13=2m-3 Start with the given equation.


-2m=2m-3-13 Subtract 13 from both sides.


-2m-2m=-3-13 Subtract 2m from both sides.


-4m=-3-13 Combine like terms on the left side.


-4m=-16 Combine like terms on the right side.


m=%28-16%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate m.


m=4 Reduce.
