Given:
-5(7 - 2m)
Simplify the expression.
Solution:
In order to simplify the expression, we distribute -5 to each value inside the parenthesis.
= -5(7 - 2m)
= -35 + 10m
To find for the value of m, transpose -35 on the other side of the equation, note that when transposing a number, the sign changes.
10m = 35
Divide both sides by 10 in order to find m.
m = 35/10 or 3.5
FInal answer:
Simplified form:-35 + 10m
m = 35/10 or 3.5
