Well I think it can help even better because since you already solved and proved your work you know what to do for your answer.
I think
First multiply 0.8 times m, then multiply 0.8 times -5.
This will give you 0.8m-4 = 10
Then add four to both sides to get you 0.8m =14.
Divide both sides by 0.8 to get m=17.5
Hope this helped. Good luck! :)
