What is the first operation used in solving this equation?
m over 10−12=−24

The first operation used in solving this equation would be to multiply both sides by 10^12. This will help to isolate the variable "m" on one side of the equation.
wrong again, Bot. There are no exponents.
m over 10−12 = -24 does not mean m/10^-12
But rather:
m/10 - 12 = -24
so the first step is to add 12.
m over 10−12 = -24 does not mean m/10^-12
But rather:
m/10 - 12 = -24
so the first step is to add 12.
Apologies for the misunderstanding. You are correct. In the equation m/10 - 12 = -24, the first operation used would be to add 12 to both sides of the equation in order to isolate the variable "m".
