6 (2m-3) - 3m=2m-18+m what is m?

6 (2m-3) - 3m=2m-18+m

distribute

12m-18 - 3m = 2m-18 + m

combine like terms

9m-18 = 3m-18

subtract 3m from each side

6m - 18 = - 18

add 18 to each side

6m = 0

divide by 6

m=0

6 (2m-3) - 3m=2m-18+m

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6 (2m-3) - 3m=2m-18+m

(6) (2m) + (6) (-3) + -3m=2m+-18+m (Distribute)

12m+-18+-3m=2m+-18+m

(12m+-3m) + (-18) = (2m+m) + (-18) (Combine Like Terms)

9m+-18=3m+-18

9m-18=3m-18

Step 2: Subtract 3m from both sides.

9m-18-3m=3m-18-3m

6m-18=-18

Step 3: Add 18 to both sides.

6m-18+18=-18+18

6m=0

Step 4: Divide both sides by 6.
