Answer:

The equation is given by:


n=(-9)/(2)m

Explanation:

We are given a equation in terms of the variable m and variable n as follows:


-2m-5n=7m-3n

Now, we are asked to find the equation in terms of m i.e. we have to consider m as independent variable and n as dependent variable since it's value is to be expressed in terms of m.

Now, we add 5n on both the sides of the equation to get:


-2m=7m-3n+5n\\\\i.e.\\\\-2m=7m+2n

Now, we subtract 7m from both the sides of the equation to get:


-2m-7n=2n\\\\i.e.\\\\2n=-9m\\\\n=(-9)/(2)m
