Question 908046
{{{24=-6(m+1)+18}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{24=-6m-6+18}}} Distribute.



{{{24=-6m+12}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{0=-6m+12-24}}} Subtract {{{24}}} from both sides.



{{{6m=12-24}}} Add {{{6m}}} to both sides.



{{{6m=-12}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{m=(-12)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{6}}} to isolate {{{m}}}.



{{{m=-2}}} Reduce.
