m^{2}-3m-2m\left(m-4\right)=-\left(m^{2}-4m\right)+6
Use the distributive property to multiply m by m-3.
m^{2}-3m-2m\left(m-4\right)=-m^{2}+4m+6
To find the opposite of m^{2}-4m, find the opposite of each term.
m^{2}-3m-2m\left(m-4\right)+m^{2}=4m+6
Add m^{2} to both sides.
m^{2}-3m-2m\left(m-4\right)+m^{2}-4m=6
Subtract 4m from both sides.
m^{2}-3m-2m^{2}+8m+m^{2}-4m=6
Use the distributive property to multiply -2m by m-4.
-m^{2}-3m+8m+m^{2}-4m=6
Combine m^{2} and -2m^{2} to get -m^{2}.
-m^{2}+5m+m^{2}-4m=6
Combine -3m and 8m to get 5m.
5m-4m=6
Combine -m^{2} and m^{2} to get 0.
m=6
Combine 5m and -4m to get m.
