Evaluate
10m−15m
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(10−15)m
Subtract the numbers
−5m
−5m−18
−5m−18=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−5m=0+18
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−5m=18
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
5m=−18
Divide both sides
55m=5−18
Divide the numbers
m=5−18
Solution
m=−518
