Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
4m1+3
Add the numbers
4m4
4m4−7m3=0
Factor the expression
m3(4m−7)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
m3=04m−7=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
m=04m−7=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
4m−7=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4m=0+7
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4m=7
Divide both sides
44m=47
Divide the numbers
m=47
m=0m=47
Solution
m1=0,m2=47
