6\left(2-m\right)-18m+24=2-m+1-6m
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.
12-6m-18m+24=2-m+1-6m
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by 2-m.
12-24m+24=2-m+1-6m
Combine -6m and -18m to get -24m.
36-24m=2-m+1-6m
Add 12 and 24 to get 36.
36-24m=3-m-6m
Add 2 and 1 to get 3.
36-24m=3-7m
Combine -m and -6m to get -7m.
36-24m+7m=3
Add 7m to both sides.
36-17m=3
Combine -24m and 7m to get -17m.
-17m=3-36
Subtract 36 from both sides.
-17m=-33
Subtract 36 from 3 to get -33.
m=\frac{-33}{-17}
Divide both sides by -17.
m=\frac{33}{17}
Fraction \frac{-33}{-17} can be simplified to \frac{33}{17} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
