5m + 8 and -2m - 6. Could i get the answer and an explanation?

m=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5m + -6 = 8m + 9

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 5m = 8m + 9

Reorder the terms:

-6 + 5m = 9 + 8m

Solving

-6 + 5m = 9 + 8m

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8m' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 5m + -8m = 9 + 8m + -8m

Combine like terms: 5m + -8m = -3m

-6 + -3m = 9 + 8m + -8m

Combine like terms: 8m + -8m = 0

-6 + -3m = 9 + 0

-6 + -3m = 9

Add '6' to each side of the equation.

-6 + 6 + -3m = 9 + 6

Combine like terms: -6 + 6 = 0

0 + -3m = 9 + 6

-3m = 9 + 6

Combine like terms: 9 + 6 = 15

-3m = 15

Divide each side by '-3'.

m = -5

Simplifying

m = -5

step-by-step explanation:

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
