Answer:

m=-3

Explanation:

m - 7 = -10

Ok so,

in order to get m by itself you just need to do the opposite of -7 which is +7 so you have to add 7 to both sides. On the left, both of the 7's cancel out and on the right -10 + 7 = -3. So, now it should look like this.

m=-3

To check you just need to plug in -3 into the question

Hope this helps! Have a good day
