Answer is below.

(Note to asker: Lack of explanations can get my answer deleted)

Step 1

We'll to isolate the variable, but to do that, get rid of the coefficient that multiplies it.

To do that, divide both sides by 22.


(22m)/(22)=(22)/(10)

Step 2.

Now we have divided both sides by 22, but we'll need to reduce the fraction
(22m)/(22).

We can reduce the fraction by dividing the factors that are in the numerator and denominator.

That being said, 22 appears both in the numerator and denominator.


(22m)/(22)=m=(2*5)/(2*11)

Step 3

Now, for
(2*5)/(2*11), we'll need to reduce it to the lowest terms. Like in the 2nd step, we'll divide factors that are in the numerator and denominator.

That being said, 2 appears both in the numerator and denominator.

Hence, M = 5/11
