Answer:

-978

Explanation:

1.) Use Distributive property (by multiplying 15 by the values in parentheses): -735=15m + 13935

2.) Subtract 13,935 on both sides, to move that value to the left side, to further isolate the variable m.

-735-13935=15m + 13935 - 13935

3.)-Simplify/Combine Like Terms

-14,670=15m

4.) Divide both sides by 15 to isolate and solve for m

-14,670/15=15m/15

5.) Simplify

-978=m

6.) Rearrange so m is on left side and value is on right side

m=-978
