Question 555854
{{{9(m+2)=-6(m+7)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{9m+18=-6m-42}}} Distribute.



{{{9m=-6m-42-18}}} Subtract {{{18}}} from both sides.



{{{9m+6m=-42-18}}} Add {{{6m}}} to both sides.



{{{15m=-42-18}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{15m=-60}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{m=(-60)/(15)}}} Divide both sides by {{{15}}} to isolate {{{m}}}.



{{{m=-4}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{m=-4}}}
