%2815m%2B3%29%2F2=-6
2%2815m%2B3%29%2F2=2%28-6%29
cross%282%29%2815m%2B3%29%2Fcross%282%29=-12
15m%2B3=-12
15m%2B3-3=-12-3
15m=-15
15m%2F15=-15%2F15
highlight%28m=-1%29
:
Check, by substituting -1 in for m and seeing if both sides equal.
%2815%28-1%29%2B3%29%2F2=-6
%28-15%2B3%29%2F2=-6
-12%2F2=-6
-6=-6 We're right!!!
Happy Calculating!!!
