well, solving out the equation on top, it comes to:
-6 x m + -6 x 3=-6 x m + 3 x -6
(sorry i had to space it out because it didnt look right)
which equals:
-6m-18=-6m-18
so, the answer should actually be :
-6m-18,
not 6m=18 because if you multiply the signs correctly, you would get a negatives

Should by -6m - 18, because +3(-6) = -18
