-1/3m + 1 = -7

1 answer

To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable "m". We can start by subtracting 1 from both sides:

-1/3m = -8

Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by -3 to eliminate the fraction:

(-3)(-1/3m) = (-3)(-8)

The -3 on the left side cancels out the -1/3:

m = 24

Therefore, the solution to the equation is m = 24.
