Answer 7

how would i get m by itself?

Answer 8

So... add -18 to both sides of the equation...
-3m + 18 - 18 = 4 - 18

Answer 9

-3m = -14

Answer 10

Now divide both sides by -3:

\[\large m = \frac{-14}{-3}\]

Answer 11

so would m = -1

Answer 12

No... not unless you're implying fourteen divided by three is 1 :D

Answer 13

I think it's best to leave it as a fraction, 14/3
