    m = 25/28

    Step-by-step explanation:

    It's best to enclose fractional coefficients inside parentheses to eliminate ambiquity: 2/7m-1/7=3/14 = > (2/7 (m - (1/7) = (3/14).

    The LCD is 14; each of the denominators {7, 14} divides evenly into 14. Hence our equation becomes

    (4) (m - 1/7) = 3

    ... after multiplying every term by 14.

    Let's multiply each side by 7 to eliminate the remaining fraction:

    4 (7m - 1) = 21, or

    28m - 4 = 21, or

    28m = 25.

    Hence, m = 25/28.
