we have


(1)/(3)m-7=10

Solve for m

That means

isolate the variable m

so

step 1

Adds 7 both sides -----> by addittion equality property


\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)m-7+7=10+7 \\ \\ (1)/(3)m=17 \end{gathered}

step 2

Multiply by 3 both sides -----> by multiplication equality property


\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)m\cdot3=17\cdot3 \\ m=51 \end{gathered}

therefore

the answer is m=51
