1/3m +3 - 5/6m= -15
I am going to change the first fraction to match the second fraction
2/6m +3 - 5/6m= -15
Simplify by subtracting 5/6m from 2/6m
-3/6m +3 = -15
Subtract 3 from each side
-3/6m = -18
Take the minus signs off
3/6m = 18
Simplify
1/2m = 18
Divide by 1/2 on each side
m= 18 ÷ 1/2= 36
Option D, m is 36

Hope this helped
