Question

What is the answer to -3m-5=5m-13

Answer 1

Hello! And thank you for your question!

First we are going to add 3m to both sides:

-5 = 5m - 13 + 3m

Then we can simplify 5m

8m - 13 = -5

After that add 13 to both sides:

13 + (-5) = 8m

Then Simplify 13 + (-5):

8m = 8

Then divide both sides by 8 to get 1 = m

Final Answer:

m = 1
