Answer:
m=10

Explanation:

1) Simplify both sides of the equation:
150m+-100m+48500=51000+-200m


(150m+-100m)+(48500)=-200m+51000 (Combine Like Terms)


50m+48500=-200m+51000

2) Add 200m to both sides:
50m+48500+200m=-200m+51000+200m


250m+48500=51000

3) Subtract 48500 from both sides:
250m+48500-48500=51000-48500


250m=2500

4) Divide both sides by 250:
250m/250=2500/250

Get your answer:
m=10
