Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 2,3.
3m+9-24=2\left(4-m\right)+42
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by m+3.
3m-15=2\left(4-m\right)+42
Subtract 24 from 9 to get -15.
3m-15=8-2m+42
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 4-m.
3m-15=50-2m
Add 8 and 42 to get 50.
3m-15+2m=50
Add 2m to both sides.
5m-15=50
Combine 3m and 2m to get 5m.
5m=50+15
Add 15 to both sides.
5m=65
Add 50 and 15 to get 65.
m=\frac{65}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
m=13
Divide 65 by 5 to get 13.
