In this problem, we're going to solve a one -step equation, and we're going to do that by dividing by six on both sides.
00:10
This method is called the division property of equality, where you can divide both sides by the same number, and the equation remains true.
00:17
So let's go ahead and go to the right side of the equation.
00:19
We see 6 times m.
00:21
To undo this operation, we use the inverse operation, or the opposite operation, which is division.
00:27
So we'll divide by six on this side, which when you divide six by six, you get one.
00:32
They cancel because one m is just m.
00:36
And so let's divide the other side by six as well.
00:39
Negative 54 divided by six is a negative nine...
