2\left(-2\right)m+300=5m
Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 5,2.
-4m+300=5m
Multiply 2 and -2 to get -4.
-4m+300-5m=0
Subtract 5m from both sides.
-9m+300=0
Combine -4m and -5m to get -9m.
-9m=-300
Subtract 300 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
m=\frac{-300}{-9}
Divide both sides by -9.
m=\frac{100}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-300}{-9} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -3.
