Hey there!

6(4m - 3) = 6

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

24m - 18 = 6

ADD 18 to BOTH SIDES

24m - 18 + 18 = 6 + 18

CANCEL out: -18 + 18 because that gives you 0

KEEP: 6 + 18 because it gives you the value of m

6 + 18 = 24

NEW EQUATION: 24m = 24

DIVIDE 24 to BOTH SIDES

24m/24 = 24/24

CANCEL out: 24/24 (on the LEFT SIDE) because it gives you 1

KEEP: 24/24 (on the RIGHT SIDE) because it gives you the m-value

m = 24/24 or 24/24 = m

SIMPLIFY ABOVE AND YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER TO YOUR M-VALUE

m = 1

Therefore, your answer is: m = 1

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
