How would you find the value of m in this problem?
4m + 2 = -2 + 4m
Well, I brought the 2 over to the right side by subtracting. That left me with 4m = -4 + 4m. Then, I subtracted the 4m from the right and did to the other side to get 0 = -4.
Is there no solution, then?

Correct. There is no solution. No matter what m is, -2 cannot equal +2.
Thank you!
