Question

$$-4m+5=5m-13$$

Solve for m

$m=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $5m$ from both sides.

$$-4m+5-5m=-13$$

Combine $-4m$ and $-5m$ to get $-9m$.

$$-9m+5=-13$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$-9m=-13-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $-13$ to get $-18$.

$$-9m=-18$$

Divide both sides by $-9$.

$$m=\frac{-18}{-9}$$

Divide $-18$ by $-9$ to get $2$.

$$m=2$$
