5m - 7 = 3

1 answer

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

  1. Add 7 to both sides of the equation:

    \[ 5m - 7 + 7 = 3 + 7 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 5m = 10 \]

  2. Next, divide both sides by 5:

    \[ m = \frac{10}{5} \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ m = 2 \]

So the solution is \( m = 2 \).
