nordsb [41]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf m = -4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Solve \: for \: m: \\ \sf \implies 6 (m - 1) = 3 (3 m + 2) \\ \\ \sf Expand \: out \: terms \: of \: the \: left \: hand \: side: \\ \sf \implies 6 m - 6 = 3 (3 m + 2) \\ \\ \sf Expand \: out \: terms \: of \: the \: right \: hand \: side: \\ \sf \implies 6 m - 6 = 9 m + 6 \\ \\ \sf Subtract \: 9 m \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies (6 m - 9 m) - 6 = (9 m - 9 m) + 6 \\ \\ \sf 6 m - 9 m = -3 m: \\ \sf \implies -3 m - 6 = (9 m - 9 m) + 6 \\ \\ \sf 9 m - 9 m = 0: \\ \sf \implies -3 m - 6 = 6 \\ \\ \sf Add \: 6 \: to \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies (6 - 6) - 3 m = 6 + 6 \\ \\ \sf 6 - 6 = 0: \\ \sf \implies -3 m = 6 + 6 \\ \\ \sf 6 + 6 = 12: \\ \sf \implies -3 m = 12 \\ \\ \sf Divide \: both \: sides \: of \: -3 m = 12 \: by \: -3: \\ \sf \implies \frac{ - 3m}{ - 3} = \frac{12}{ - 3} \\ \\ \sf \frac{ - 3}{ - 3} = 1: \\ \sf \implies m = \frac{12}{ - 3} \\ \\ \sf - \frac{12}{3} = - 4 : \\ \sf \implies m = - 4$
