Answer:

4

Explanation:

do distributive property first. -7 * 6 and -7 * 3

now you should have -42+21m = 26 + 4m

subtract 4m to the other side 21m-4m=17m

then add 42 to the other side which would give you 68

17m=68

17 divided by 17 =1

68 divided by 17=4

M=4

Distribute -7 into the parenthesis to get -42 + 21m = 26+ 4m. Subtract 4m from both she's to get -42 + 17m = 26. Add 42 to both sides t get 17m = 68. Divide both sides by 17 to get 4= m.
