Answer: m= −1
/10
Step-by-step 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
