Answer 1

2m-10=7m-15+5
solve like terms
-10+15-5=7m-2m
0=5m
m=0
thanks

Answer 2

Simplifying

2m + -10 = 7m + -15 + 5

Reorder the terms:

-10 + 2m = 7m + -15 + 5

Reorder the terms:

-10 + 2m = -15 + 5 + 7m

Combine like terms: -15 + 5 = -10

-10 + 2m = -10 + 7m

Add '10' to each side of the equation.

-10 + 10 + 2m = -10 + 10 + 7m

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0

0 + 2m = -10 + 10 + 7m

2m = -10 + 10 + 7m

Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0

2m = 0 + 7m

2m = 7m

Solving

2m = 7m

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-7m' to each side of the equation.

2m + -7m = 7m + -7m

Combine like terms: 2m + -7m = -5m

-5m = 7m + -7m

Combine like terms: 7m + -7m = 0

-5m = 0

Divide each side by '-5'.

m = 0

Simplifying

m = 0
