1-m=6-6m Start with the given equation.


-m=6-6m-1 Subtract 1 from both sides.


-m%2B6m=6-1 Add 6m to both sides.


5m=6-1 Combine like terms on the left side.


5m=5 Combine like terms on the right side.


m=%285%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate m.


m=1 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is m=1

1 - m = 6 - 6m
.
add 6m to both sides
.
1 +5m = 6
.
subtract 1 from both sides
.
5m = 5
.
divide both sides by 5
.
m = 1
.
check this value in the original equation to make sure it is right
.
1-1 = 6-6(1)
0 = 0
correct
.
Answer: m = 1
.
Done.
