Solution Steps

To solve for m m , we need to simplify both sides of the equation and then isolate m m . Start by combining like terms on both sides of the equation. Once simplified, move all terms involving m m to one side and constant terms to the other side. Finally, solve for m m by dividing or multiplying as necessary.

Step 1: Set Up the Equation

We start with the equation: 54m2=m+1274+12m \frac{5}{4} m - 2 = -m + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{7}{4} + \frac{1}{2} m

Step 2: Simplify Both Sides

First, we simplify the right side: m+1274+12m=m+2474+24m=(1+12)m54=12m54 -m + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{7}{4} + \frac{1}{2} m = -m + \frac{2}{4} - \frac{7}{4} + \frac{2}{4} m = (-1 + \frac{1}{2}) m - \frac{5}{4} = -\frac{1}{2} m - \frac{5}{4} Thus, the equation becomes: 54m2=12m54 \frac{5}{4} m - 2 = -\frac{1}{2} m - \frac{5}{4}

Step 3: Combine Like Terms

Next, we move all terms involving m m to one side and constant terms to the other side: 54m+12m=54+2 \frac{5}{4} m + \frac{1}{2} m = -\frac{5}{4} + 2 Converting 2 2 to a fraction gives us: 2=84 2 = \frac{8}{4} So, we have: 54m+24m=34 \frac{5}{4} m + \frac{2}{4} m = \frac{3}{4} This simplifies to: 74m=34 \frac{7}{4} m = \frac{3}{4}

Step 4: Solve for m m

To isolate m m , we multiply both sides by 47 \frac{4}{7} : m=3447=37 m = \frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{4}{7} = \frac{3}{7}

Final Answer

Thus, the solution for m m is: m=37 \boxed{m = \frac{3}{7}}
