m=-(4+m)+2m=−(4+m)+2
Step 1
Step 1.1
Simplify each term.
Step 1.1.1
Apply the distributive property.
m=-1⋅4-m+2m=−1⋅4−m+2
Step 1.1.2
Multiply -1−1 by 44.
m=-4-m+2m=−4−m+2
m=-4-m+2m=−4−m+2
Step 1.2
Add -4−4 and 22.
m=-m-2m=−m−2
m=-m-2m=−m−2
Step 2
Step 2.1
Add mm to both sides of the equation.
m+m=-2m+m=−2
Step 2.2
Add mm and mm.
2m=-22m=−2
2m=-22m=−2
Step 3
Step 3.1
Divide each term in 2m=-22m=−2 by 22.
2m2=-222m2=−22
Step 3.2
Simplify the left side.
Step 3.2.1
Cancel the common factor of 22.
Step 3.2.1.1
Cancel the common factor.
2m2=-22
Step 3.2.1.2
Divide m by 1.
m=-22
m=-22
m=-22
Step 3.3
Simplify the right side.
Step 3.3.1
Divide -2 by 2.
m=-1
m=-1
m=-1
