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
