To figure out this we need to simply it. 
I would first take out the extra from it, put the letters on one side and regular numbers on the other.

So, we would take the -7 and add it to the other side.

5m-7=6m+11
    +7        +7

Or, to make it easier, you could already subtract the 5m from the 6m.

5m-7=6m+11
-5m    -5m

Then simply from there.

m=-18

anonymous · Answer

You can do this one in your head in two steps.
1.  Move 5m to the RHS.  6-5 is 1m.
2.  move  11 to LHS and combine -7 and -11 which is -18 

The variables do not HAVE to be on the LHS.
