Answer:

-12

Explanation:

−5(3m+6)=−3(4m−2)

(−5)(3m)+(−5)(6)=(−3)(4m)+(−3)(−2)(Distribute)

−15m+−30=−12m+6

−15m−30=−12m+6

Step 2: Add 12m to both sides.

−15m−30+12m=−12m+6+12m

−3m−30=6

Step 3: Add 30 to both sides.

−3m−30+30=6+30

−3m=36

Step 4: Divide both sides by -3.

−3m

−3

=

36

−3

m=−12

Answer:


\huge\boxed{m=-12}

Explanation:

In order to solve for this equation, we can simplify this expression until we have m isolated on one side of it.


-5(3m+6)=-3(4m-2)

Distribute the left and right side:


-15m-30=-12m+6

Add 30 to both sides:


-15m=-12m+36

Add 12m to both sides:


-3m=36

Divide both sides by -3:


m = -12

So m = -12.

Hope this helped!
