#m = 8#

#175m-75m+48250=50250-150m#

Simplify the left side:
#100m + 48250=50250-150m#

Add #color(blue)(150m)# to both sides:
#100m quadcolor(blue)(+quad150m) + 48250 = 50250 - 150m quadcolor(blue)(+quad150m)#

#250m + 48250 = 50250#

Subtract #color(blue)(48250)# from both sides:
#250m + 48250 quadcolor(blue)(-quad48250) = 50250 quadcolor(blue)(-quad48250)#

#250m = 2000#

Divide both sides by #color(blue)(250)#:
#(250m)/color(blue)250 = 2000/color(blue)250#

Therefore,
#m = 8#
