(2m)/(5)+3=7(4m-3)\ \ \ \ |use\ distributive\ property:a(b-c)=ab-ac\\\\(2m)/(5)+3=28m-21\ \ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 5\\\\2m+15=140m-105\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 140m\ from\ both\ sides\\\\-138m+15=-105\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 15\ from\ both\ sides\\\\-138m=-120\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-138)\\\\m=(120:6)/(138:6)\\\\\boxed{m=(20)/(23)}
