Question

Solve for m.

3m+7/2=−2m+5/2

A.-1

B.-1/5

C.6

D.6/5

Answer 1

To solve this we must isolate x which involves having the variables on one side and the numbers on the other.

First add 2m to both sides

3m+7/2=-2m+5/2

5m+7/2=5/2

Then we subtract 7/2 from both sides

5m+7/2=5/2

5m=-1

Finally we divide both sides by 5

5m/5=-1/5

Our final answer is -1/5

So the answer is B

Hope this helps!
