Lorna:24
Together they are a total of 72 yrs old
If it's add you subtract if it's subtract you add
-10 = -10 + 7m
Add 10 to each side: 0 = 7m
Divide each side by 7 : 0 = m
Please take a second and just LOOK at the equation you started with.
It says:
-- You have this number '-10' .
-- Your number -10 is going to be exactly the same size
after you add 7 of something to it.
The ONLY way that could happen is if the 'something' is 'nothing' .
' m ' must be nothing.
