Question

$$-7m+10=m+5$$

Solve for m

$m=\frac{5}{8}=0.625$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $m$ from both sides.

$$-7m+10-m=5$$

Combine $-7m$ and $-m$ to get $-8m$.

$$-8m+10=5$$

Subtract $10$ from both sides.

$$-8m=5-10$$

Subtract $10$ from $5$ to get $-5$.

$$-8m=-5$$

Divide both sides by $-8$.

$$m=\frac{-5}{-8}$$

Fraction $\frac{-5}{-8}$ can be simplified to $\frac{5}{8}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$m=\frac{5}{8}$$
