Answer:

m=2

Explanation:

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

Isolate the variable m. Combine like terms (-7+10):

3+4m=15-2m

Subtract 3 from both sides (inverse operations):

$3-3+4m=15-3-2m\\\\4m=12-2m$

Add 2m to both sides (inverse operations):

$4m+2m=12-2m+2m\\\\6m=12$

Divide both sides by 6 to isolate m (inverse operations):

$(6m)/(6) =(12)/(6) \\\\m=2$

Since this cannot be further simplified, m is equal to 2.
