5-m=6-2n
Subtract 2n from both sides.
-m=6-2n-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
-m=1-2n
Subtract 5 from 6 to get 1.
\frac{-m}{-1}=\frac{1-2n}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
m=\frac{1-2n}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
m=2n-1
Divide 1-2n by -1.
2n-m=6-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
2n-m=1
Subtract 5 from 6 to get 1.
2n=1+m
Add m to both sides.
2n=m+1
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2n}{2}=\frac{m+1}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
n=\frac{m+1}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
