i don't get my math homework can someone help me...?

Question

ok so i keep asking my teacher how do 2 step integer equations but she dosn't explian it very well. so i am very confused right now she siad we will be having a test over it tomarrow but i don't even get it.

like some of the qusetions are like
m/ (over) 2 + 5 =-2 and u would have to get m alone but i don't even get how to do it.

can someone tell me how to do problems like this so i won't fail the test tomarrow

i mean m over 2 plus 5 =-2

but this is just an example of wat i have to do so i don't need the answer to it. but i need to know how to find the answer

Answer 1

What you need to do is do any operation to get 'm' alone. If it is (m/2) + 5 = -2, first remove the 5 from both sides of the equation so that you have (m/2) = -7. Then you multiply everything by 2 and you get m/1, which is m = -14.

If it's m/(2+5) then you have m/7 and you multiply everything by 7 to get rid of the bottom half of the fraction.

Answer 2

Do you mean m/(2+5)=-2?
This you would do as. 2+5=7 so
m/7=-2 multiply both sides with 7 to get the m alone so
7(m/7)=-2*7
The 7s on the right side divide each other and leave a 1. The left side becomes -14 so
m=-14

Answer 4

is it m over 2 + 5
or m over just 2
if it is m over 2 +5
then multiply both sides by (2 +5) to get m alone
otherwise, subtract 5 from both sides, then multiply both sides by 2
