m=7-3p+3m
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by p-m.
m-3m=7-3p
Subtract 3m from both sides.
-2m=7-3p
Combine m and -3m to get -2m.
\frac{-2m}{-2}=\frac{7-3p}{-2}
Divide both sides by -2.
m=\frac{7-3p}{-2}
Dividing by -2 undoes the multiplication by -2.
m=\frac{3p-7}{2}
Divide 7-3p by -2.
m=7-3p+3m
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by p-m.
7-3p+3m=m
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-3p+3m=m-7
Subtract 7 from both sides.
-3p=m-7-3m
Subtract 3m from both sides.
-3p=-2m-7
Combine m and -3m to get -2m.
\frac{-3p}{-3}=\frac{-2m-7}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
p=\frac{-2m-7}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
p=\frac{2m+7}{3}
Divide -2m-7 by -3.
