Solve for m m+7=2m

$m + 7 = 2 m$

Step 1

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

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

$m + 7 - 2 m = 0$

Subtract $2 m$ from $m$ .

$- m + 7 = 0$

Step 2

Subtract $7$ from both sides of the equation.

$- m = - 7$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- m = - 7$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- m = - 7$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- m}{- 1} = \frac{- 7}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{m}{1} = \frac{- 7}{- 1}$

Divide $m$ by $1$ .

$m = \frac{- 7}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $- 7$ by $- 1$ .

$m = 7$
