Hmm, lets see what we're working on here
If were solving for the value of "m" follow these following steps (only if you want to )
1/3(m) - 7 - 5 = ?
? = 0
Lets simplify ▶1/3 to find out the value of it
0 - 1/3 (m) - 7 - 5 = ?
7(3) / 3
'm' becomes a negative since we started out with a negative fraction
-m - 7(3) /3
Next: -m - 21 / 3 - 5 = ?
5(3) / 3
This because the denomenator as 3
-m - 36 / 3
Your like terms of this part of the problem ⬇
-1 (m) + 36
So, -m - 36 / 3 = ?
This part of the equation/steps will be too long to finish up
-m - 36 = ?
If we are the number 36 from each of your sides you will get your answer. Here's the solution I am talking about ⬇
-m - 36 = 0
If we multiply by the negative 1 (-1) we can still find your result for the value of 'm'
Now, finally we have found the value of 'm' which is -36 ; m= -36
