Multiply 2 and (-6) to get a non-fraction function.
OpenStudy (abb0t):
\[6m+3=-12\]
If you are solving for "m". What do you think our next step is?
Remember, you want to get "m" by lonely self.

You subtract 3 from both sides? I got to as far as you got and got stuck for some reason.

-2 and 1/2?
OpenStudy (abb0t):
You're on the right track. If you subtract 3 from both sides, you get: \[6m = -15\]
now, if you want to get 'm' by itself. Meaning, no 6 next to 'm'. You want to divide right.
OpenStudy (abb0t):
Dividing by 6 to both sides, you get:\[\frac{ 6 }{ 6 } = 1\] meaning, m = _____ ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2 1/2?
OpenStudy (abb0t):
\[-\frac{ 15 }{ 6 } = -\frac{ 5 }{ 2 } = -2 \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\]
all of those answers are acceptable.
