Answer:

Explanation:

Simplifying

25m + 22 = 9m

Reorder the terms:

22 + 25m = 9m

Solving

22 + 25m = 9m

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9m' to each side of the equation.

22 + 25m + -9m = 9m + -9m

Combine like terms: 25m + -9m = 16m

22 + 16m = 9m + -9m

Combine like terms: 9m + -9m = 0

22 + 16m = 0

Add '-22' to each side of the equation.

22 + -22 + 16m = 0 + -22

Combine like terms: 22 + -22 = 0

0 + 16m = 0 + -22

16m = 0 + -22

Combine like terms: 0 + -22 = -22

16m = -22

Divide each side by '16'.

m = -1.375

Simplifying

m = -1.375
