To solve for m in the equation V = 3x + 2m - y, we need to isolate the term containing m on one side of the equation.

Let's rearrange the equation:

V = 3x + 2m - y

We want to isolate the term 2m, so we'll move the other terms to the other side of the equation:

2m = V - 3x + y

Now, to solve for m, we divide both sides of the equation by 2:

m = (V - 3x + y) / 2

Therefore, the solution for m is (V - 3x + y) divided by 2.

Solving for m means that while m is on one side, the other terms are on the other side.

V = 3x + 2m - y

So we transpose all the terms (with opposite signs) to the left;

V - 3x + y = 2m

Next, I divide every term by 2:

(V - 3x + y) / 2 = m

So, the equation solved for m is : m = (V - 3x + y)/2.
