To solve the equation \(-15 = -4m + 5\) for \(m\), follow these steps:
1. **Subtract 5 from both sides** to isolate the term with \(m\):
\[
-15 - 5 = -4m
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-20 = -4m
\]
2. **Divide both sides by -4** to solve for \(m\):
\[
m = \frac{-20}{-4}
\]
Simplifying this, we find:
\[
m = 5
\]
So, the solution is \(m = 5\).
