You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you distribute the numbers in front of the () to each number in the () and solve for your variable.
1. 2x-6=5x+15
-15-6=5x-2x
-21=3x
-7=x
do you see how to get this now?
2. 6m^2+12m=0
you can factor this further by pulling out an 6m
6m(m+2)=0
set both as equation
6m=0
m=0/6
m+2=0
m=-2
