Solve for \( m \) given the equation:
\[ m + 3n = 7 \]
where \( n = -2, 0, 1 \).

Make sure that whatever you do to one side, you must also do to the other. For each of the given values of n, you must find the corresponding value of M.
M + 3n = 7
For n = -2: M + 3(-2) = 7 M + (-6) = 7 M - 6 = 7 M - 6 + 6 = 7 + 6 | adding 6 to both sides M = 13
For n = 0: M + 3(0) = 7 M + 0 = 7 M = 7
For n = 1: M + 3(1) = 7 M + 3 = 7 M + 3 - 3 = 7 - 3 | subtracting 3 from both sides M = 4
Hope this helps! :)

To find the value of m for each given n , we substitute each value into the equation m + 3 n = 7 and solve. The results are m = 13 for n = − 2 , m = 7 for n = 0 , and m = 4 for n = 1 . Each solution was derived by isolating m in the equation using basic arithmetic operations.
