Question

Solve the equation. Write a justification for each step.
5m-3=22

Answer 1

m=5

Step-by-step explanation:

5m-3=22

1. take 3 the other side by doing the opposite operation

5m= 22+3

5m= 25

• then divide it by 5 on both sides to get the value of m.
• 5m÷5=25÷5
• 5and 5 cancels out and the answer becomes :

m=5

Answer 2

m = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

• 5m - 3 = 22

• We need to get '5m' by itself in order to find 'm'.

Step One: Add 3 To Each Side Of The Equation

5m - 3 + 3 = 22 + 3

• - 3 + 3 Cancel Each Other Out So We Have 5m By Itself On One Side

5m = 25

• We Need To Divide Each Side By 5 To Get 'm' By Itself

5m / 5 = 25 / 5

m = 5

• We Got 'm' By Itself, And m is 5
