To solve the equation \(-5 = 3m - 14\) for \(m\), follow these steps:
-
Add 14 to both sides of the equation: \[ -5 + 14 = 3m \] \[ 9 = 3m \]
-
Divide both sides by 3: \[ m = \frac{9}{3} = 3 \]
So, the solution is \(m = 3\).
If you need to relate it to \(x\), the equation provided does not give a relation with \(x\). Thus, unless there's more context about how \(x\) relates to \(m\), \(m = 3\) is the answer. If \(x = m\), then \(x = 3\).
In summary: \[ x = 3 \] (if \(x\) is defined to be \(m\)).
