Solve for m. (include steps < 3) m = −(4+m) + 2

Start by removing the brackets.

m = -4 - m + 2 Notice that the m inside the brackets becomes - m

m = -2 - m        Add m to both sides

m+m = - 2

2m = - 2            Divide by 2

2m/2 = -2/2

m = -1

the function makes a strait line horizontally with no x intercept but a y intercept at 9.
