Question

Can you guys distribute this problem and then figure out how many solutions does this problem have 5(m-3)=7m-17

Answer 1

                         5 (m - 3)  =  7m - 17

Eliminate
parentheses:        5m - 15  =  7m - 17

Subtract 5m
from each side:          - 15  =  2m - 17

Add 17
to each side:                  2  =  2m

Divide
each side
by  2 :                            1  =  m  

No more solutions.
Only one.
