–3(m − 13) = –12

m =

1 answer

To solve the equation \(-3(m - 13) = -12\), follow these steps:

  1. Distribute the -3: \[ -3m + 39 = -12 \]

  2. Isolate the variable term: Subtract 39 from both sides: \[ -3m = -12 - 39 \] \[ -3m = -51 \]

  3. Solve for \(m\): Divide both sides by -3: \[ m = \frac{-51}{-3} = 17 \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ m = 17 \]
