Solve for m. -6m - 7 = -5m + 3
-6m - 7 = -5m + 3
-6m + 5m = 3 + 7
m = -10
It's -5m not 5m
6m+3=5m
That's what I copied from your problem.
Then I added 5m to both sides of the equation.
Substitute -10 for m in your original equation. Is it right?
To solve for m in the equation -6m - 7 = -5m + 3, you'll need to get all the terms involving m on one side of the equation and the constants on the other side.
1. Start by subtracting -5m from both sides of the equation to eliminate the -5m term on the right side:
-6m - 7 - (-5m) = -5m + 3 - (-5m)
-6m - 7 + 5m = 3
2. Combine the like terms on the left side of the equation:
(-6m + 5m) - 7 = 3
-m - 7 = 3
3. Next, add 7 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -7 term on the left side:
-m - 7 + 7 = 3 + 7
-m = 10
4. Finally, to solve for m, multiply both sides of the equation by -1. Remember that when you multiply an equation by -1, you need to flip the direction of the inequality sign:
-1 * -m = 10 * -1
m = -10
Therefore, the solution to the equation -6m - 7 = -5m + 3 is m = -10.
