Question

Please help!

Solve the equation:

9 = -7m + 1 - 6

Please show all of the steps on how to solve this so I will know how to do it. :)

Answer 1

first you can start by combining the 1 - 6 so you have

9 = -7m -5 (1-6=-5)

then add 5 to both sides as follows:

9+5 = -7m -5+5 (now on this side -5+5 cancels) and you have

14 = -7m

Answer 2

now divide by -7 on both sides as follows:

14 = -7m
