Answer 1

$-3+5(x+6)=37\ \ \ \ |\text{use distributive property}\\\\-3+(5)(x)+(5)(6)=37\\\\-3+5x+30=37\\\\5x+(-3+30)=37\\\\5x+27=37\ \ \ \ |-27\\\\5x=10\ \ \ |:5\\\\\boxed{x=2}\\-------------------------------\\5(1+4m)-2m=-13\ \ \ \ |\text{use distributive property}\\\\(5)(1)+(5)(4m)-2m=-13\\\\5+20m-2m=-13\\\\5+(20m-2m)=-13\\\\5+18m=-13\ \ \ \ |-5\\\\18m=-18\ \ \ \ |:18\\\\\boxed{m=-1}$
