Simple,

so you have...

-5m=-35

You are trying to find m, so, to isolate the variable divide both sides by -5:

[tex] \frac{-5m}{-5} = \frac{-35}{-5} [/tex]

m=7

Now, to check your work, plug in m.

-5(7)=-35

-35=-35

Thus, you know your answer is correct.
m=7  to get m you need to divide -35 by -5 so it equals 7. To check your answer plug 7 to m. -5 X 7 = -35
