Solve 50-10m=(m+5)*2.5

$$50-10m = (m+5) \cdot 2.5$$

Solve for m

$$m=3$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply m+5 by 2.5.

$$50-10m=2.5m+12.5$$

Subtract 2.5m from both sides.

$$50-10m-2.5m=12.5$$

Combine -10m and -2.5m to get -12.5m.

$$50-12.5m=12.5$$

Subtract 50 from both sides.

$$-12.5m=12.5-50$$

Subtract 50 from 12.5 to get -37.5.

$$-12.5m=-37.5$$

Divide both sides by -12.5.

$$m=\frac{-37.5}{-12.5}$$

Expand \frac{-37.5}{-12.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$m=\frac{-375}{-125}$$

Divide -375 by -125 to get 3.

$$m=3$$
