Question

$$\frac{m+3}{3}=\frac{6+6m}{3}$$

Solve for m

$m=-\frac{3}{5}=-0.6$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$.

$$m+3=6+6m$$

Subtract $6m$ from both sides.

$$m+3-6m=6$$

Combine $m$ and $-6m$ to get $-5m$.

$$-5m+3=6$$

Subtract $3$ from both sides.

$$-5m=6-3$$

Subtract $3$ from $6$ to get $3$.

$$-5m=3$$

Divide both sides by $-5$.

$$m=\frac{3}{-5}$$

Fraction $\frac{3}{-5}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{3}{5}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$m=-\frac{3}{5}$$
