Question

$$m-5=3m-25$$

Solve for m

$m=10$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $3m$ from both sides.

$$m-5-3m=-25$$

Combine $m$ and $-3m$ to get $-2m$.

$$-2m-5=-25$$

Add $5$ to both sides.

$$-2m=-25+5$$

Add $-25$ and $5$ to get $-20$.

$$-2m=-20$$

Divide both sides by $-2$.

$$m=\frac{-20}{-2}$$

Divide $-20$ by $-2$ to get $10$.

$$m=10$$
