Question 263594
here is the original problem
{{{-8m-(3(11-4 m)+2)=9m }}}
step 1 - we must use order of operations here:
{{{-8m-(33-12m+2) = 9m}}}
step 2 - distribute the - through to get
{{{-8m - 33 + 12m - 2 = 9m}}}
step 3 - combine like terms on the left to get
 {{{4m -35 = 9m}}}
step 4 - subtract 4m to get
 {{{-35 = 5m}}}
step 5 - divide to get
{{{m = -7}}}
