3m + 7y + 5 + -1m + -6y = 0
Reorder the terms:5 + 3m + -1m + 7y + -6y = 0
Combine like terms: 3m + -1m = 2m5 + 2m + 7y + -6y = 0
Combine like terms: 7y + -6y = 1y5 + 2m + 1y = 0
Solving5 + 2m + 1y = 0
Solving for variable m'.
Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5' to each side of the equation.5 + 2m + -5 + 1y = 0 + -5
Reorder the terms:5 + -5 + 2m + 1y = 0 + -5
Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 00 + 2m + 1y = 0 + -52m + 1y = 0 + -5
Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -52m + 1y = -5
Add '-1y' to each side of the equation.2m + 1y + -1y = -5 + -1y
Combine like terms: 1y + -1y = 02m + 0 = -5 + -1y2m = -5 + -1y
Divide each side by '2'.m = -2.5 + -0.5y
Roots m=-2.5 + -0.5y

Simplify the following:3 m + 7 y + 5 - m - 6 y
Grouping like terms, 3 m + 7 y + 5 - m - 6 y = (7 y - 6 y) + (3 m - m) + 5:(7 y - 6 y) + (3 m - m) + 5
7 y - 6 y = y:y + (3 m - m) + 5
3 m - m = 2 m:Answer: y + 2 m + 5
Not sure what you need so I gave you Simplification and Roots.
