Step 1.1

Add $3 m$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 10 - 4 m + 3 m = 0$

Step 1.2

Add $- 4 m$ and $3 m$ .

$- 10 - m = 0$

Step 2

Add $10$ to both sides of the equation.

$- m = 10$

Step 3

Divide each term in $- m = 10$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Step 3.2.1

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{m}{1} = \frac{10}{- 1}$

Step 3.2.2

Divide $m$ by $1$ .

$m = \frac{10}{- 1}$

Step 3.3

Simplify the right side.
