Answer:

The value of m is 9.

Explanation:

We need to set up an algebraic equation, then solve.

(-3 * m) + 7 = -20

-3m + 7 = -20

Subtract 7 from both sides so we can get -3m by itself. We are isolating it.

-3m + 7 - 7 = -20 - 7

-3m = -27

Divide by -3 on both sides.

m = 9

The value of m is 9.
