-12a+6m=-2a^{2}
Subtract 2a^{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
6m=-2a^{2}+12a
Add 12a to both sides.
6m=12a-2a^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{6m}{6}=\frac{2a\left(6-a\right)}{6}
Divide both sides by 6.
m=\frac{2a\left(6-a\right)}{6}
Dividing by 6 undoes the multiplication by 6.
m=\frac{a\left(6-a\right)}{3}
Divide 2a\left(6-a\right) by 6.
