Respuesta :

17=m

whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other!

-5=2-m/3
times 3 on each side to get rid of the fraction
-15=2-m
subtract 2 on each side to make the -m stand on its own
-17=-m
times -1 to remove the negative from m
17=m

Answer:

m = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

-5 = 2 - [tex]\frac{m}{3}[/tex]

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

-15 = 6 - m

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

6 - m = -15

Subtract 6 from both sides.

-m = -15 - 6

Subtract 6 from −15 to get −21.

-m = -21

Multiply both sides by −1.

m = 21

Hope this helps you out =D
