24 = -6 (m+1) + 18

what is the answer?

m = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute first.

24 = -6(m+1) + 18

24 = -6m - 6 + 18

Then you combine like terms.

24= -6m + 12

Then you still combine like terms. You subtract 12 from each side.

24 = -6m + 12

-12            - 12

12= -6m

Then divide by -6 to isolate the variable.

12 = -6m

/-6     /-6

-2 = m
