Answer: -5

Explanation:
To solve this, plug in each of the answers as m (1, -5, -2, 5).

5(1) + 3 = 3(1) - 7
Answer: 8 = -4

5(-5) + 3 = 3(-5) - 7
Answer: -22 = -22

5(-2) + 3 = 3(-2) - 7
Answer: -7 = -13

5(5) + 3 = 3(5) - 7
Answer: 28 = 8

And as you can see, m = -5 gives us the answer -22 = -22, which is correct.

Hope this helped! :3
