\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{5}{6}+m
Multiply -\frac{5}{6} and 1 to get -\frac{5}{6}.
-\frac{5}{6}+m=\frac{1}{2}
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
m=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{5}{6}
Add \frac{5}{6} to both sides.
m=\frac{3}{6}+\frac{5}{6}
Least common multiple of 2 and 6 is 6. Convert \frac{1}{2} and \frac{5}{6} to fractions with denominator 6.
m=\frac{3+5}{6}
Since \frac{3}{6} and \frac{5}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
m=\frac{8}{6}
Add 3 and 5 to get 8.
m=\frac{4}{3}
Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
