6(4m -3) + 6 = 4(4m+11)

1) distribute what is outside of the brackets
in this case we would times (4m -3) by 6 and (4m + 11) by 4

24m - 18 + 6 = 16m + 44

2) get the like terms on the same side
24m - 16m = 44 + 18 - 6
(the signs of the terms you’re moving have to change)

3) calculate
8m = 56
56 / 8
m = 7
