Hi there!


To solve for your equation, first, it would be a little helpful to rewrite it, as it looks easier to work out.



-6 - 2m = 10


Let us begin!


Step 1) Simplify both sides of the equation. (Below are the steps on how to simplify!)



-6 + -2m = 10 -2m - 6 = 10


Pretty simple to simplify! :D


Step 2) Add 6 to both sides.



-2m - 6 + 6 = 10 + 6 - 2m = 16


Pretty easy so far!


Step 3) Divide both sides by -2.



(-2m)/(-2) = (16)/(-2) m = -8


Final Answer -



m = -8


See, it wasn't so bad! If anything, it was too easy! :)


Hope this helps! :D

Message me if you need anymore help with anything!

Add 6 to both sides>>>−-2m=10+6
Simplify 10+6 to 16>>>−-2m=16
Divide both sides by -−2>>>m=16/−-2
Simplify 16/−2 to -−16/2>>>>m=-16/−2
Simplify 16/2 to 8>>>>m=-−8

Answer m=-8
