Solve the following equation
14040-50m=12500+20m
Solve for m
14040 - 50m = 12500 + 20m
Group variables
Group our variables -50m and 20m
subtract 20m from both sides
-50m + 14040 - 20m = 20m + 12500 - 20m
Cancel 20m on the right side:
-70m + 14040 = 12500
Divide each side by 14040
| 14040m | |
| 14040 |
| = |
| -50 |
| 14040 |
Group constants
Group our constants 14040 and 12500.
subtract 14040 from both sides
-70m + 14040 - 14040 = 12500 - 14040
Cancel 14040 on the left side:
-70m = -1540
Divide each side of the equation by -70
| -70m | |
| -70 |
| = |
| -1540 |
| -70 |
m = 22
Final Answer
m = 22
