Answer:


\sf \: m=−1

Explanation:

5(4m+1)-2m=-13

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(4m+1)−2m=−13

(5)(4m)+(5)(1)+−2m=−13(Distribute)

20m+5+−2m=−13

(20m+−2m)+(5)=−13(Combine Like Terms)

18m+5=−13

18m+5=−13

Step 2: Subtract 5 from both sides.

18m+5−5=−13−5

18m=−18

Step 3: Divide both sides by 18.

18m/18 = −18/18

m=−1
