5(3m+6) = -3(4m-2) what is m equal to?

M= -12, hope this helps, good luck 

First, you will have to simplify both sides of the equation via distribution.

-5(3m+6) = -3(4m-2)
-5*3m = -15m
-5*6 = -30
-3*4m =-12m
-3*-2 = 6

The problem now has changed to -15m-30 = -12m+6.

Now we have to get m by itself. We get 6 from the right to the left by subtracting it from both sides. We now have -15m-36 = -12m. Then we get -15m from the left to right by adding it on both sides. This now becomes
-36 = 3m. We divide 3 from both sides, getting m by itself. We end up with
 -12 =m.
