Answer:


m = (5n)/(4) - 7

Explanation:


n = (4)/(5) (m + 7)

First of all multiply both sides by 5

That's


5n = 5 * (4)/(5) (m + 7) \\ 5n = 4(m + 7)

Next divide both sides by 4

That's


m + 7 = (5n)/(4)

Subtract 7 from both sides to make m stand alone

We have


m + 7 - 7 = (5n)/(4) - 7

We have the final answer as


m = (5n)/(4) - 7

Hope this helps you
