Answer:

[tex]m = \frac{31}{7} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(m - 3) + 6 = 2(m - 5)

Expand the terms in the bracket

That's

- 5m + 15 + 6 = 2m - 10

- 5m + 21 = 2m - 10

Subtract 2m from both sides

- 5m - 2m + 21 = 2m - 2m - 10

- 7m + 21 = - 10

Subtract 21 from both sides

That's

- 7m + 21 - 21 = - 10 - 31

- 7m = - 31

Divide both sides by - 7

We have the final answer as

[tex]m = \frac{31}{7} [/tex]

Hope this helps you
