Greetings!

"Solve for:
19.50 = 7m+2"...

Add -2 to both sides.

(19.50)+(-2) = (7m+2)+(-2)
Simplify.

17.5=7m
Divide both sides by 7.

(17.5)/7=(7m)/7
Simplify.

2.5=m

m=2.5

The variable is equal to 2.5.

Hope this helps.

19.50 = 7m + 2

19.50 - 2 = 7m +2 (-2)

17.50 = 7m

17.50/7 = 7m/7

m = 2.5


hope this helps
