Answer

$x=-2$

Work Step by Step

The function is $m(x)=4x+15$. Substitute $7$ for $m(x)$ to obtain $\implies 7=4x+15$ Subtract $15 $ from both sides of the equation. $7-15=4x+15-15$ $\implies -8=4x$ Divide both sides of the equation by $4$ to get $\frac{-8}{4}=\frac{4x}{4}$ $\implies x=-2$ When $x=-2$, $m(x)=7$
