For this case we have the following equation:


m + 2m-6 = -12 + 2m

We must find the value of "m" that makes the equation true.

Subtracting
2m from both sides of the equation we have:


m-6 = -12

Adding 6 to both sides:


m = -12 + 6

Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.


m = -6

Thus, we have:


-6 + 2 (-6) -6 = -12 + 2 (-6)\\-6-12-6 = -12-12

Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.


-24 = -24

Thus, the value of "m" that makes the equation true is:
m = -6

Answer:


m = -6
