ok @KendrickLamar2014 lets do this
OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):
OK.....

PEMDAS is the order of operations in order to complete this.
Parentheses are solved first
Exponets (There are none in this)
Multiplication/Division - Whichever come first in the equation
Addition/Subtraction - Same as above
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That is how you are gonna need to complete this

oh yea oops i forgot lol

1. We simplify the equation:
-6 −13 + 8 = −6 + m + 8
Which simplify's too:
−6 + − 13 + 8 = −6 + m + 8
OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):
2. We combine like terms. Which gives you:
(−6+−13+8)=(m)+(−6+8)
OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):
Which equals:
\[−11=m+2\]
OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):
3. We flip the equation to make it look like:\[m+2=−11\]

4. We subtract 2 from both sides:\[m+2−2=−11−2\]
Which equals:\[?\]
