What is the answer to this

problem 7 (m+5) = 21

The answer is m = (-2). To find the answer first distribute. 7m+35=21. Next subtract 35 from each side. 7m-35 = 21-35. Finally divide each side by 7. 7m/7=-14/7. Finally, you get the answer. m = (-2)

7m+35=21

m, would have to be negative so you can subtract the number by 35.

m=14
