Solve the following equation
14040-50m=12500+20m
Solve for m
14040 - 50m = 12500 + 20m
Group our variables -50m and 20m subtract 20m from both sides
-50m + 14040 - 20m = 20m + 12500 - 20m
-70m + 14040 = 12500
Group our constants 14040 and 12500. subtract 14040 from both sides
-70m + 14040 - 14040 = 12500 - 14040
-70m = -1540
m = 22
