How to find the value of m in the equation 7-14m=2m-5

Answer 1

Answer: m = 3/4

Explanation:

7 -14m=2m -5

subtract 2m from both sides

= 7 -16m= -5

subtract 7 from both sides

= - 16m= -12

divide - 16 into -12

when dividing two negatives you get a positive

m=12/16 or m=3/4 when you simplify

Answer 2

Exact Form: m=3/4
Decimal Form: m=0.75
