Question 568546
{{{12(m-4)=3m-3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{12m-48=3m-3}}} Distribute.



{{{12m=3m-3+48}}} Add {{{48}}} to both sides.



{{{12m-3m=-3+48}}} Subtract {{{3m}}} from both sides.



{{{9m=-3+48}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{9m=45}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{m=(45)/(9)}}} Divide both sides by {{{9}}} to isolate {{{m}}}.



{{{m=5}}} Reduce.
