Question

Solve the following equation.

-m/9 + 7 = 5

Answer 1

m = 18

Explanation:

Pre-Solving

We are given the following equation:

`-(m)/(9) + 7 =5`

We want to solve it.

To do that, we need to isolate the variable on one side.

Solving

To start, we can subtract 7 from both sides.

`-(m)/(9) + 7 =5`

-7 -7

________________

`-(m)/(9) = -2`

Now, multiply both sides by -9.

`-9(-(m)/(9)) = -9(-2)` => m = 18
