Question

$$4m-5=m+7$$

Solve for m

$m=4$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $m$ from both sides.

$$4m-5-m=7$$

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

$$3m-5=7$$

Add $5$ to both sides.

$$3m=7+5$$

Add $7$ and $5$ to get $12$.

$$3m=12$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$m=\frac{12}{3}$$

Divide $12$ by $3$ to get $4$.

$$m=4$$
