Solve the following equation for x:

-5 = 3m - 14+12
x =

1 answer

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!
