Sagot :

Answer:

m= -1

x= 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

1)m= -1

2)x=4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

1)Subtract 7m from both sides.      2)Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides.−5x+3−2x=2x−1−2x                              -5x+3-2x=2x-1-2x

                                                              -7x+3=-1

                                                         Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides

−7x+3=−1                                           -7x+3-3=-1-3

Step 2: Subtract 3 from both sides.  -7x=-4

                                                            Step 3:Divide both sides by -7

−7x+3−3=−1−3                                       -7x/7=-4/7

−7x=−4

Step 3: Divide both sides by -7.              x=4/7

5m+4−7m=7m+6−7m

−2m+4=6

Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides.

−2m+4−4=6−4

−2m=2

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2m
