Question

$$7m-12=6-2m$$

Solve for m

$m=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add $2m$ to both sides.

$$7m-12+2m=6$$

Combine $7m$ and $2m$ to get $9m$.

$$9m-12=6$$

Add $12$ to both sides.

$$9m=6+12$$

Add $6$ and $12$ to get $18$.

$$9m=18$$

Divide both sides by $9$.

$$m=\frac{18}{9}$$

Divide $18$ by $9$ to get $2$.

$$m=2$$
