How do you solve 12-3+ 4m - 6( 3m - 2)]= - 7( 2m - 8) - 3( m - 2) + 3m - 5?

m has no solution.

Explanation:

Expand the brackets:
12-3+4m-18m+12 = -14m+56-3m+6+3m-5

Group the like-terms:
21-14m = -14m+57

Rearrange to get m on one side:
-14m+14m = 57-21

0 = 36

Since 0 = 36 is a contradiction there is no solution for m which satisfies the equation.
