Answer: -152/9

Explanation:

m−152=3+m10−3

m−152=3+10m−3

m−152=10m+3−3

m-152=10m

-152=9m

m=-152/9

We can start with subtracting 3-3 on the right side.
It’ll be m-152=10m
Then we can subtract 1m (in otherwords, m) from both sides
It’ll be -152= 9m
Then we divide 9 from both sides to cancel out and isolate m.

It’ll be -152/9= m
As a fraction it would be -16 8/9
