Answer:

$\bold{m \ = \ (-37)/(6) \ Or \ -6.16666666667}$

Step-by-step explanation:

-40 - 6m + 1 = - 2

−40 − 6m + 1 = −2

−40 + −6m + 1 = −2

(−6m) + (−40 + 1) = −2 (Combine Like Terms)

−6m + −39 = −2

= −6m − 39 = −2

−6m − 39 + 39 = −2 + 39

−6m = 37

-6m / -6 = 37 / -6

$\bold{m \ = \ (-37)/(6) \ Or \ -6.16666666667}$

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf \boxed{\sf m=-(37)/(6)}\:or\:\boxed{\sf m=-6.166} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf -40 - 6m + 1 = - 2$

➩ Combine like terms:

$\sf -6m-40+1=-2$

➩ Add numbers:

$\sf -6m-39=-2$

➩ Add 39 from both sides:

$\sf -6m-39+39=-2+39$

$\sf -6m=37$

➩ Divide both sides by -6:

$\sf \cfrac{-6m}{-6}=\cfrac{37}{-6}$

$\sf m=-\cfrac{37}{6}$
