xm+7x+y\left(m-3\right)=z\left(m-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x by m+7.
xm+7x+ym-3y=z\left(m-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply y by m-3.
xm+7x+ym-3y=zm-3z
Use the distributive property to multiply z by m-3.
xm+7x+ym-3y-zm=-3z
Subtract zm from both sides.
xm+ym-3y-zm=-3z-7x
Subtract 7x from both sides.
xm+ym-zm=-3z-7x+3y
Add 3y to both sides.
\left(x+y-z\right)m=-3z-7x+3y
Combine all terms containing m.
\left(x+y-z\right)m=-7x+3y-3z
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(x+y-z\right)m}{x+y-z}=\frac{-7x+3y-3z}{x+y-z}
Divide both sides by x+y-z.
m=\frac{-7x+3y-3z}{x+y-z}
Dividing by x+y-z undoes the multiplication by x+y-z.
xm+7x+y\left(m-3\right)=z\left(m-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply x by m+7.
xm+7x+ym-3y=z\left(m-3\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply y by m-3.
xm+7x+ym-3y=zm-3z
Use the distributive property to multiply z by m-3.
xm+7x-3y=zm-3z-ym
Subtract ym from both sides.
xm+7x=zm-3z-ym+3y
Add 3y to both sides.
\left(m+7\right)x=zm-3z-ym+3y
Combine all terms containing x.
\left(m+7\right)x=-my+3y+mz-3z
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(m+7\right)x}{m+7}=\frac{\left(m-3\right)\left(z-y\right)}{m+7}
Divide both sides by m+7.
x=\frac{\left(m-3\right)\left(z-y\right)}{m+7}
Dividing by m+7 undoes the multiplication by m+7.
