-11-7m=-4(m-1)

Parth (parthkohli):

you may start by distributing. \( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow -11-7m = -4m + 4}\)

Parth (parthkohli):

I think then you're ready to isolate \(m\).

Parth (parthkohli):

are you familiar with the term 'isolation'?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Very simple, m = -5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i'm not

Parth (parthkohli):

Isolation means making the variable as the subject on one side and having a constant on the other.

Parth (parthkohli):

Add 7m to both sides then subtract both by 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Make the 'm' alone, and sad. Make the 'm' letter sad to be alone on one side of the equation! But look, you start out with x gas. You use 3/4ths of it, which is .75x. Now you have x - .75x. Then you add 10! So it's x - .75x + 10 = 0 and solve for 'm'. Simple.
