4+2m=7m
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 1+0.5m.
4+2m-7m=0
Subtract 7m from both sides.
4-5m=0
Combine 2m and -7m to get -5m.
-5m=-4
Subtract 4 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
m=\frac{-4}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
m=\frac{4}{5}
Fraction \frac{-4}{-5} can be simplified to \frac{4}{5} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
