Step 1: Simplify by adding 2 to both sides.



−6 + 2 = 4m – 2 + 2



−4 = 4m



Step 2: Simplify by dividing both sides by 4.



−4 ÷ 4 = 4m ÷ 4



−1 = m



Answer: -1



NurseHub Hint: When adding a positive number to a negative number, take the difference of the two
numbers and keep the sign of the larger number.



The difference between 6 and 2 is 4. Since 6 is the larger number, we keep the sign of that number,
which is negative.



-6 + 2 = -4
