3\left(2m+1\right)+36=2m-\left(6-m\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,6,12.
6m+3+36=2m-\left(6-m\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 2m+1.
6m+39=2m-\left(6-m\right)
Add 3 and 36 to get 39.
6m+39=2m-6-\left(-m\right)
To find the opposite of 6-m, find the opposite of each term.
6m+39=2m-6+m
The opposite of -m is m.
6m+39=3m-6
Combine 2m and m to get 3m.
6m+39-3m=-6
Subtract 3m from both sides.
3m+39=-6
Combine 6m and -3m to get 3m.
3m=-6-39
Subtract 39 from both sides.
3m=-45
Subtract 39 from -6 to get -45.
m=\frac{-45}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
m=-15
Divide -45 by 3 to get -15.
