Question

$$4m-2=7m+11$$

Solve for m

$m = -\frac{13}{3} = -4\frac{1}{3} \approx -4.333333333$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $7m$ from both sides.

$$4m-2-7m=11$$

Combine $4m$ and $-7m$ to get $-3m$.

$$-3m-2=11$$

Add $2$ to both sides.

$$-3m=11+2$$

Add $11$ and $2$ to get $13$.

$$-3m=13$$

Divide both sides by $-3$.

$$m=\frac{13}{-3}$$

Fraction $\frac{13}{-3}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{13}{3}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$m=-\frac{13}{3}$$
