Solve equations with the distributive property

Full solution

Q. Solve for

m

.

\newline

2(m - 7) - 1 = -1

\newline

m =

_____

Simplify Equation: Simplify the equation by distributing the $2$ into the parentheses. $2(m - 7) - 1 = -1$ $2m - 14 - 1 = -1$ $2m - 15 = -1$
Add $15$ : Add $15$ to both sides to isolate the term with $m$ . $\newline$ $2m - 15 + 15 = -1 + 15$ $\newline$ $2m = 14$
Divide to Solve: Divide both sides by $2$ to solve for $m$ . $\frac{2m}{2} = \frac{14}{2}$ $m = 7$
