Given the equation:

 6 - m = m

Solve for m.

Solution:

In order to solve for m, we need to transpose -m first to the other side of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.

6 -m = m

6 = m + m

2m = 6

Divide both sides by 2 in order to cancel out 2m, leaving behind m.

2m/2 = 6/2

m = 3

Final answer:

m = 3
