You were going pretty good, Complex, until after this step

 

6m - 18 =  3m - 9      add18 to both sides........subtract 3m from both sides

 

3m = 9                      divide both sides by 3

 

m = 3

 

Check this solution in the original problem to see that it "works"

Ok lets see...

\(3[2m-6]=3m-9\)

\([6m-18]=3m-9\)

\(3m-6=-9\)

\(3m = -3\)

\(m=-1\)

 

Hoped that helped...
