9%28m%2B2%29=-6%28m%2B7%29 Start with the given equation.


9m%2B18=-6m-42 Distribute.


9m=-6m-42-18 Subtract 18 from both sides.


9m%2B6m=-42-18 Add 6m to both sides.


15m=-42-18 Combine like terms on the left side.


15m=-60 Combine like terms on the right side.


m=%28-60%29%2F%2815%29 Divide both sides by 15 to isolate m.


m=-4 Reduce.
