Solve for m m+2m-6=-12+2m

$m + 2 m - 6 = - 12 + 2 m$

Add $m$ and $2 m$ .

$3 m - 6 = - 12 + 2 m$

Move all terms containing $m$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $2 m$ from both sides of the equation.

$3 m - 6 - 2 m = - 12$

Subtract $2 m$ from $3 m$ .

$m - 6 = - 12$

Move all terms not containing $m$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $6$ to both sides of the equation.

$m = - 12 + 6$

Add $- 12$ and $6$ .

$m = - 6$
