Question
Solve the equation
m=57
Alternative Form
m=1.4
Evaluate
6m−3(m−1)=6−2(m−2)
Move the expression to the left side
6m−3(m−1)−(6−2(m−2))=0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
6m−3(m−1)−6+2(m−2)=0
Calculate the sum or difference
More Steps

Evaluate
6m−3(m−1)−6+2(m−2)
Expand the expression
More Steps

Calculate
−3(m−1)
Apply the distributive property
−3m−(−3×1)
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
−3m−(−3)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−3m+3
6m−3m+3−6+2(m−2)
Expand the expression
More Steps

Calculate
2(m−2)
Apply the distributive property
2m−2×2
Multiply the numbers
2m−4
6m−3m+3−6+2m−4
Calculate the sum or difference
More Steps

Evaluate
6m−3m+2m
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(6−3+2)m
Calculate the sum or difference
5m
5m+3−6−4
Subtract the numbers
5m−7
5m−7=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
5m=0+7
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
5m=7
Divide both sides
55m=57
Solution
m=57
Alternative Form
m=1.4
