-6%28-2m%2B7%29=5m-6%28m-6%29 Start with the given equation.


12m-42=5m-6m%2B36 Distribute.


12m-42=-m%2B36 Combine like terms on the right side.


12m=-m%2B36%2B42 Add 42 to both sides.


12m%2Bm=36%2B42 Add m to both sides.


13m=36%2B42 Combine like terms on the left side.


13m=78 Combine like terms on the right side.


m=%2878%29%2F%2813%29 Divide both sides by 13 to isolate m.


m=6 Reduce.
