Step 1:
Solution

add 7 to each side of the equation

divide both sides of the equation with -7

multiply both sides of the equation with -7

m=-294

m=-6

m=6

m=49

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-7m = 42\), we need to isolate \(m\).

Step 1: Divide both sides of the equation by \(-7\):

\[ m = \frac{42}{-7} \]

Calculating the right side:

\[ m = -6 \]

So the solution is:

m = -6
