Answer: m= -9

Step-by-step explanation: First use distributive property, -4(m) is -4m and -4(3) is -12. Then you have -4m -12 =24. Then use 12 and add it to the other side of the equation, cause of the subtraction sign, 12+24=36. Then you have -4m=36. Then divide the 4 to get the m by its self. 36 divided by -4 is -9. Your answer is m=-9

Hope this helps :)
