Answer:

10

Explanation:

First step is to get rid of the 5 on the left side of the equation. To do this, subtract 5 from both sides like this:

m/5 + 5 - 5 = 7 - 5

The 5s on the left side add to zero so you're left with m/5 + 0.

The right side now is 7 - 5 or 2.

So m/5 = 2. Now multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the denominator 5 on the left side.

5 x m/5 = 2 x 5

On the left, 5 divided by 5 is 1 so you now have just m.

On the right you have 2 x 5 or 10

So m = 10
