Question

Solve the following equation for x:

-5 = 3m - 14+12
x =

Answer 1

To solve the equation for \( m \), we start with the equation:

\[
-5 = 3m - 14 + 12
\]

First, simplify the right side:

\[
-5 = 3m - 2
\]

Next, add 2 to both sides:

\[
-5 + 2 = 3m
\]

\[
-3 = 3m
\]

Now, divide both sides by 3:

\[
m = -1
\]

It seems there was a bit of confusion in your question regarding \( x \). If you meant to solve for \( m \) rather than \( x \), then we have \( m = -1 \).

If there is a specific context for \( x \) or if the original equation had \( x \) involved, please clarify!
