$LHS = RHS" "rarr m= 11$ is the correct solution

You could solve the equation for yourself and see if the solution comes out as 11.

Or, substitute the value $11$ for every $m$ .

If you end up with a TRUE statement, then $11$ is the solution.

If the statement is FALSE, then $m$ is not the solution.

$LHS: 9m-7m-5" "RHS: 17$

$=9(11)-7(11)-5$

$=99-77-5$

$= 17$ .

$LHS = RHS" "rarr m= 11$ is the correct solution
