Full solution

Q. Solve for mm.\newline14m=214 - m = -2\newlinem=m = _____
  1. Isolate variable m: Isolate the variable m on one side of the equation.\newline14m=214 - m = -2\newlineAdd m to both sides to get m on the right side and numbers on the left side.\newline14m+m=2+m14 - m + m = -2 + m\newline14=2+m14 = -2 + m
  2. Add and rearrange terms: Now, subtract 1414 from both sides to solve for mm.\newline1414=2+m1414 - 14 = -2 + m - 14\newline0=m160 = m - 16
  3. Subtract 1414 to solve: Finally, to find the value of mm, we need to get rid of the negative sign in front of the 1616.0=m160 = m - 16Add 1616 to both sides.0+16=m16+160 + 16 = m - 16 + 1616=m16 = m
