Isolate variable m: Isolate the variable m on one side of the equation.14−m=−2Add m to both sides to get m on the right side and numbers on the left side.14−m+m=−2+m14=−2+m
Add and rearrange terms: Now, subtract 14 from both sides to solve for m.14−14=−2+m−140=m−16
Subtract 14 to solve: Finally, to find the value of m, we need to get rid of the negative sign in front of the 16.0=m−16Add 16 to both sides.0+16=m−16+1616=m
