<span>The complete question includes these choices: A)1 foot B)2 feet C)5 feet D)9 feet The correct answer is B) 2 feet, approx. 24 inches; most standard desks have a height between 28'' to 30''.

6 + m/4 = 3 (subtract 6 from both sides)
m/4 = -3 (multiply both sides by 4)
m = -12
Can plug in to original equation to check work:
6 - 12/4 = 3
6 - 3 = 3
3 = 3
The answer m = -12 checks out
