Answer

$m = -25$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{3}{5}m = -15$ We need to isolate the variable $m$ by multiplying through by the reciprocal of the coefficient $n$ as shown below: $\frac{3}{5}m \times \frac{5}{3} = -15 \times \frac{5}{3}$ Simplifying we have: $m = -25$ Therefore, the equation has a possible solution at the point $m = -25$
