Answer:
Explanation:
-Start by distributing the 2, -2(3m+1/2).
-Getting -6m-1, your equation should look like -40-6m-1=7m-2
-Combine -40 and -1 to get -41, and then add the -6m to the other side.
-The equation should look like -41=13m-2. Add the 2 to the -41 to get -39.
-Now, we have -39=13m. divide both sides by 13 to get m=-3.
