Solve for m m/3-3=-6

$\frac{m}{3} - 3 = - 6$

Step 1

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

Add $3$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{m}{3} = - 6 + 3$

Add $- 6$ and $3$ .

$\frac{m}{3} = - 3$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$ .

$3 \frac{m}{3} = 3 \cdot - 3$

Step 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$3 \frac{m}{3} = 3 \cdot - 3$

Rewrite the expression.

$m = 3 \cdot - 3$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $3$ by $- 3$ .

$m = - 9$
