Question

$$0=16+4(m-6)$$

Solve for m

$m=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $4$ by $m-6$.

$$0=16+4m-24$$

Subtract $24$ from $16$ to get $-8$.

$$0=-8+4m$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-8+4m=0$$

Add $8$ to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$4m=8$$

Divide both sides by $4$.

$$m=\frac{8}{4}$$

Divide $8$ by $4$ to get $2$.

$$m=2$$
