m=22

↓Steps Explained:↓

Solve for m

14040 - 50m = 12500 + 20m

Group variables

Group our variables -50m and 20m
subtract 20m from both sides

-50m + 14040 - 20m = 20m + 12500 - 20m

Cancel 20m on the right side:

-70m + 14040 = 12500

Divide each side by 14040

14040m
14040
=
  
-50
14040

Group constants

Group our constants 14040 and 12500.
subtract 14040 from both sides

-70m + 14040 - 14040 = 12500 - 14040

Cancel 14040 on the left side:

-70m = -1540

Divide each side of the equation by -70

-70m
-70
=
  
-1540
-70

m = 22
