did you figure it out or do you need help ?

is the answer 5

Answer 8

3(m - 5) = m - 7 (distribute through the parenthesis)
3m - 15 = m - 7 (subtract m from both sides)
3m - m - 15 = -7 (add 15 to both sides)
3m - m = -7 + 15 (combine like terms)
2m = 8 (divide by 2 on both sides)
m = 4
Do you understand everything I did or do you have questions ?
