7m+2=7n−5
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
7n−5=7m+2
Add 5 to both sides.
7n=7m+2+5
Add 2 and 5 to get 7.
7n=7m+7
Divide both sides by 7.
7
7n
=
7
7m+7
Dividing by 7 undoes the multiplication by 7.
n=
7
7m+7
Divide 7+7m by 7.
n=m+1
The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.
For Example, In 8² , the 2 is the number of times 8 has to be multiplied. In this case It has to multiplied by itself 2 times, 8x8 = 64 so 8² = 64.
Another example is 9³ since the number above is 3 we have to multiply 9 three times, 9x9x9 = 729 which means 9³ = 729.
Hope this helps
