We are given the following equation and want to solve for the unknown value of m:


-7+4m+10=15-2m

Simplify the equation by combining like terms


3+4m=15-2m

Add both sides by 2m


3+6m=15

Subtract both sides by 3


6m=12

Divide both sides by 6


m=2

That's your answer. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer: m = 2

Explanation:


-7+4m+10=15-2m\\4m+2m=15-10+7\\6m=12\\m=2\\

so the value of m is 2

Here's the step, first move 2m to left side then move 10 and -7 to the left side.

then we get 4m+2m = 15-10+7

finish things (addition and subtraction)

Then you get 6m = 12

m = 12/6, move 6 to divide 12 then you get m = 2.
