Answer:
m = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute first.
24 = -6(m+1) + 18
24 = -6m - 6 + 18
Then you combine like terms.
24= -6m + 12
Then you still combine like terms. You subtract 12 from each side.
24 = -6m + 12
-12 - 12
12= -6m
Then divide by -6 to isolate the variable.
12 = -6m
/-6 /-6
-2 = m
