2m%2B3%28m%2B2%29=6%28m%2B2%29-14 Start with the given equation.


2m%2B3m%2B6=6m%2B12-14 Distribute.


5m%2B6=6m%2B12-14 Combine like terms on the left side.


5m%2B6=6m-2 Combine like terms on the right side.


5m=6m-2-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


5m-6m=-2-6 Subtract 6m from both sides.


-m=-2-6 Combine like terms on the left side.


-m=-8 Combine like terms on the right side.


m=%28-8%29%2F%28-1%29 Divide both sides by -1 to isolate m.


m=8 Reduce.
