Solve for m (m-3)/2=5

$\frac{m - 3}{2} = 5$

Step 1

Multiply both sides of the equation by $2$ .

$2 \frac{m - 3}{2} = 2 \cdot 5$

Step 2

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$2 \frac{m - 3}{2} = 2 \cdot 5$

Rewrite the expression.

$m - 3 = 2 \cdot 5$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $2$ by $5$ .

$m - 3 = 10$

Step 3

Move all terms not containing $m$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $3$ to both sides of the equation.

$m = 10 + 3$

Add $10$ and $3$ .

$m = 13$
