12%28m-4%29=3m-3 Start with the given equation.


12m-48=3m-3 Distribute.


12m=3m-3%2B48 Add 48 to both sides.


12m-3m=-3%2B48 Subtract 3m from both sides.


9m=-3%2B48 Combine like terms on the left side.


9m=45 Combine like terms on the right side.


m=%2845%29%2F%289%29 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate m.


m=5 Reduce.
