Solve for m: 2m + 1 = 10/2

m = 5

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    2*m-(10)=0

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  2m - 10  =   2 • (m - 5)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

2.1      Solve :    2   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2      Solve  :    m-5 = 0

Add  5  to both sides of the equation :

                     m = 5

therefore: m = 5
