Answer:

m=8

Explanation:

11-m=51-6m

Add 6m to both sides

11-m+6m=51-6m+6m

So,

11+5m=51

Subtract 11 from both sides,

11-11+5m=51-11

5m=40

Divide by 5 on both sides,

m=8

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

m = 8

Explanation:

11-m = 51 - 6m

11 - 11 - m = 51 - 11 - 6m

-m = 40 - 6m

-m + 6m = 40 - 6m + 6m

5m = 40

m = 40/5

m = 8

Check:

11 - 8 = 51 - 6*8

3 = 51 - 48
