m= - 4
Explanation:
Okay, first we will star by distributing the 4:
120=24-24m
Next you will subtract the 24, without the m, from the right side and subtract it with the 120 on the left side to leave m by itself:
96= - 24m
Now you will truly leave m by it self by dividing the -24 with the 96:
m= - 4
To verify if you have the right number or not, you can always plug it in to verify, so:
120=4(6-6( - 4))
120=4(6+24)
120=4(30)
120=120
It checks out!
