Question

What is wrong with this solution?

Answer 1

Answer:

They changed 5m into a positive when it should've stayed as a negative until you isolate the variable m at the end, making m actually equal -7.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5m - 16 = 19

-5m = 19 + 16

-5m = 35

m = 35/-5

m = -7

Answer 2

Answer:

m=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Is -7 because,

-5(-7)-16=19

-5*-7-16

35-16=19
