( - 11/6) + m = - 2/9
x 6 both sides
-11 + 6m = - 4/3
+ 11 both sides
6m = 29/3
÷6 both sides
m = 29/18
Check:
(-11/6) + 29/18 does gives - 2/9
Make (-11/6) have same denominator as 18 by Multiplying top & bottom by 3.
-33/18 + 29/18 = - 4/18, then divide by 2 => - 2/9
There's different ways of solving for m, but the key is: whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other side too.
Hope this helps !
