-2/3m=-12 can anyone explain in words?

Here's our equation:


-(2)/(3)m=-12

This tells us that two-thirds of negative m is equal to negative 12.

Multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction.

- 2m = -36

Divide both sides by two to isolate the variable

-m = -36

Variable m is equal to 36.
