Work it -6 - 2m = 10
Add 6 to both sides>>>−-2m=10+6
Simplify 10+6 to 16>>>−-2m=16
Divide both sides by -−2>>>m=16/−-2
Simplify 16/−2 to -−16/2>>>>m=-16/−2
Simplify 16/2 to 8>>>>m=-−8
Answer m=-8
Hi there!
To solve for your equation, first, it would be a little helpful to rewrite it, as it looks easier to work out.
\(-6 - 2m = 10\)
Let us begin!
Step 1) Simplify both sides of the equation. (Below are the steps on how to simplify!)
\(-6 + -2m = 10 -2m - 6 = 10\)
Pretty simple to simplify! :D
Step 2) Add 6 to both sides.
\(-2m - 6 + 6 = 10 + 6 - 2m = 16\)
Pretty easy so far!
Step 3) Divide both sides by -2.
\(\frac{-2m}{-2} = \frac{16}{-2} m = -8\)
Final Answer -
\(m = -8\)
See, it wasn't so bad! If anything, it was too easy! :)
Hope this helps! :D
