    C! So you would combine - 2m to both sides!

    c, add 2m to both sides

    Step-by-step explanation:

    -2m + 3 = 5m + 7

    Add 2m to both sides

    -2m + 2m + 3 = 2m + 5m + 7

    3 = 7m + 7

    Subtract 7 from both sides

    3 - 7 = 7m + 7 - 7

    -4 = 7m

    Divide both sides by 7

    -4/7 = 7m/7

    -4/7 = m

    m = - 4/7
