Full solution

Q. Solve for mm.\newline2m4m17=1-2m - 4m - 17 = 1\newlinem=m = __
  1. Combine like terms: Combine like terms on the left side of the equation.\newline2m4m17=1-2m - 4m - 17 = 1\newline(2m4m)17=1(-2m - 4m) - 17 = 1\newline6m17=1-6m - 17 = 1
  2. Isolate term with m: Isolate the term with m.\newline6m17+17=1+17-6m - 17 + 17 = 1 + 17\newline6m=18-6m = 18
  3. Divide by 6-6: Divide both sides by 6-6 to solve for mm.6m6=186\frac{-6m}{-6} = \frac{18}{-6}m=3m = -3
