solve for m

Question

m=-(4+m)+2

Answer 1

To solve for m, we can start by simplifying the equation:

m = -(4 + m) + 2

First, we simplify the parentheses:

m = -4 - m + 2

Next, we combine like terms:

m = -2 - m

To solve for m, we can add m to both sides of the equation:

m + m = -2 - m + m

This simplifies to:

2m = -2

Finally, we divide both sides by 2 to isolate m:

m = -2/2

Simplifying further:

m = -1
