Solve for m (18+4)+m=(5-3)m

$(18 + 4) + m = (5 - 3) m$

Step 1

Add $18$ and $4$ .

$22 + m = (5 - 3) m$

Step 2

Subtract $3$ from $5$ .

$22 + m = 2 m$

Step 3

Move all terms containing $m$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $2 m$ from both sides of the equation.

$22 + m - 2 m = 0$

Subtract $2 m$ from $m$ .

$22 - m = 0$

Step 4

Subtract $22$ from both sides of the equation.

$- m = - 22$

Step 5

Divide each term in $- m = - 22$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- m = - 22$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- m}{- 1} = \frac{- 22}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{m}{1} = \frac{- 22}{- 1}$

Divide $m$ by $1$ .

$m = \frac{- 22}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 22$ by $- 1$ .

$m = 22$
