Answer:

m = - 31

Explanation:

Given


(m-1)/(2) -
(m-2)/(3) =
(m-4)/(7)

Multiply through by 42 , the LCM of 2, 3 and 7 , to clear the fractions

21(m - 1) - 14(m - 2) = 6(m - 4) ← distribute parenthesis

21m - 21 - 14m + 28 = 6m - 24

7m + 7 = 6m - 24 ( subtract 6m from both sides )

m + 7 = - 24 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

m = - 31
