Question 579332


{{{6(5-8m)+12=-54}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{30-48m+12=-54}}} Distribute.



{{{-48m+42=-54}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-48m=-54-42}}} Subtract {{{42}}} from both sides.



{{{-48m=-96}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{m=(-96)/(-48)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-48}}} to isolate {{{m}}}.



{{{m=2}}} Reduce.
