| ( | 3 | m | + | 5 | ) | ÷ | 6 | = | m | ÷ | 4 | − | 7 | ÷ | 4 |
| Left side of the equation = | 3 | m | × | 1 6 | + | 5 | × | 1 6 |
| = | 1 2 | m | + | 5 6 |
1 2 | m | + | 5 6 | = | m | ÷ | 4 | − | 7 | ÷ | 4 |
| Right side of the equation = | m | × | 1 4 | − | 7 4 |
1 2 | m | + | 5 6 | = | 1 4 | m | − | 7 4 |
1 2 | m | − | 1 4 | m | = | - | 7 4 | − | 5 6 |
1 4 | m | = | - | 7 4 | − | 5 6 |
1 4 | m | = | - | 31 12 |
| m | = | - | 31 12 | ÷ | 1 4 |
| = | - | 31 12 | × | 4 |
| = | - | 31 3 | × | 1 |
| m | = | - | 31 3 |
| m | = | - 10.333333 |
