Question

$$\frac{2m+5}{3}=3m-10$$

Solve for m

$m=5$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$.

$$2m+5=9m-30$$

Subtract $9m$ from both sides.

$$2m+5-9m=-30$$

Combine $2m$ and $-9m$ to get $-7m$.

$$-7m+5=-30$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$-7m=-30-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $-30$ to get $-35$.

$$-7m=-35$$

Divide both sides by $-7$.

$$m=\frac{-35}{-7}$$

Divide $-35$ by $-7$ to get $5$.

$$m=5$$
