text: i don't get my math homework can someone help me...? ok so i keep asking my teacher how do 2 step integer equations but she dosn't explian it very well. so i am very confused right now she siad we will be having a test over it tomarrow but i don't even get it.  like some of  the qusetions are like m/ (over) 2 + 5 =-2 and u would have to get m alone but i don't even get how to do it.  can someone tell me how to do problems like this so i won't fail the test tomarrow what you need to do is do any operation to get 'm' alone.  if it is (m/2) + 5 = -2, first remove the 5 from both sides of the equation so that you have (m/2) = -7.  then you multiply everything by 2 and you get m/1, which is m = -14.  if it's m/(2+5) then you have m/7 and you multiply everything by 7 to get rid of the bottom half of the fraction.
