Question

How do you solve `-180=15m`?

Answer 1

`m = -12`

Explanation:

To solve this we must divide each of the sides by `15`, what you do to one side, you do to the other

`=> -180 / 15 = (15m)/15`

Now we see `-180/15` cancels to give to: `-12/ 1 = -12`

And we know `15/15 = 1` as anything divided by itself equals 1

`=> -12 = m`

`m = -12`
