Question

. Solve the following equation for x:

-5 = 3m - 14+12

x =

Answer 1

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( -5 = 3m - 14 + 12 \), we first simplify the right-hand side:

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

Combine the constant terms \( -14 + 12 \):

\[
-14 + 12 = -2
\]

So the equation simplifies to:

\[
-5 = 3m - 2
\]

Next, we add \( 2 \) to both sides to isolate the term with \( m \):

\[
-5 + 2 = 3m
\]

This results in:

\[
-3 = 3m
\]

Now, to solve for \( m \), divide both sides by \( 3 \):

\[
m = -1
\]

Since you asked to solve for \( x \), it appears that \( x \) is not actually present in the original equation provided. The final answer we found is for \( m \):

\[
m = -1
\]

If you meant to solve for \( x \) itself in a different equation or context, please provide the relevant information.
