Explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

m - 4m = -6

Step 2: Solve for m

1. Combine like terms: -3m = -6
2. Divide -3 on both sides: m = 2

Step 3: Check

Plug in m into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in m: 2 - 4(2) = -6
2. Multiply: 2 - 8 = -6
3. Subtract: -6 = -6

Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.

∴ m = 2 is the solution to the equation.
