I'm 13 but I know this.

It takes a few lines of working

-6m - 8 = 24

-6m= 32

-m= 5 1/3

m= -5.33333… (5 1/3)

Now for the explanation. You want only the pro numeral on the left hand side. So if -8 is one one side to cancel it out you have to add 8 to the other side. Now you know what -6m is but you want to know m. So you divide the right hand side by six. Now you know what -m is but that is no good to you either. So now you have to multiply both sides by -1. It doesn't effect the answer because you changed BOTH sides (e.g 11=4. Now change both sides 22=8. It is and equivilant). Hope that makes sense
