Solve for m 2m=-6n-5

$2 m = - 6 n - 5$

Divide each term in $2 m = - 6 n - 5$ by $2$ .

$\frac{2 m}{2} = \frac{- 6 n}{2} + \frac{- 5}{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{2 m}{2} = \frac{- 6 n}{2} + \frac{- 5}{2}$

Divide $m$ by $1$ .

$m = \frac{- 6 n}{2} + \frac{- 5}{2}$

$m = \frac{- 6 n}{2} + \frac{- 5}{2}$

$m = \frac{- 6 n}{2} + \frac{- 5}{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Cancel the common factor of $- 6$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $- 6 n$ .

$m = \frac{2 (- 3 n)}{2} + \frac{- 5}{2}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$m = \frac{2 (- 3 n)}{2 (1)} + \frac{- 5}{2}$

Cancel the common factor.

$m = \frac{2 (- 3 n)}{2 \cdot 1} + \frac{- 5}{2}$

Rewrite the expression.

$m = \frac{- 3 n}{1} + \frac{- 5}{2}$

Divide $- 3 n$ by $1$ .

$m = - 3 n + \frac{- 5}{2}$

$m = - 3 n + \frac{- 5}{2}$

$m = - 3 n + \frac{- 5}{2}$

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$m = - 3 n - \frac{5}{2}$

$m = - 3 n - \frac{5}{2}$

$m = - 3 n - \frac{5}{2}$
