Question 333892


{{{3m-17=5m-1}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3m=5m-1+17}}} Add {{{17}}} to both sides.



{{{3m-5m=-1+17}}} Subtract {{{5m}}} from both sides.



{{{-2m=-1+17}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-2m=16}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{m=(16)/(-2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-2}}} to isolate {{{m}}}.



{{{m=-8}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{m=-8}}}
