Question
Give the steps you will use to separate the variable and then solve the equation.
$5 m+7=17$
$5 m+7=17$
✓
Answer
We have, $5 m+7=17$
On subtracting 7 from both sides, we get
$
5 m+7-7 =17-7$
$\Rightarrow 5 m =10
$
Now, on dividing both sides by 5 , we get
$
\frac{5 m}{5}=\frac{10}{5} \Rightarrow m=2
$
Hence, $m=2$ is the solution of the given equation.
