Solve the equation for m.

5m - 7 = 3

m =

1 answer

To solve the equation \(5m - 7 = 3\), follow these steps:

  1. Add 7 to both sides to isolate the term with \(m\): \[ 5m - 7 + 7 = 3 + 7 \] \[ 5m = 10 \]

  2. Next, divide both sides by 5 to solve for \(m\): \[ m = \frac{10}{5} \] \[ m = 2 \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ m = 2 \]
