Answer: m= −1 /10

Explanation:

2 m −5= 3 m +5

2 m +−5= 3 m +5

Multiply all terms by m and cancel:

2+−5m=3+5m

−5m+2=5m+3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−5m+2−5m=5m+3−5m(Subtract 5m from both sides)

−10m+2=3

−10m+2−2=3−2(Subtract 2 from both sides)

−10m=1

−10m

−10

=

1 −10

(Divide both sides by -10)

m= −1 /10
