Step 1.1

Rewrite.

$m + 1 = 0 + 0 - 2 (n + 6)$

Step 1.2

Simplify by adding zeros.

$m + 1 = - 2 (n + 6)$

Step 1.3

Apply the distributive property.

$m + 1 = - 2 n - 2 \cdot 6$

Step 1.4

Multiply $- 2$ by $6$ .

$m + 1 = - 2 n - 12$

Step 2

Move all terms not containing $m$ to the right side of the equation.

Step 2.1

Subtract $1$ from both sides of the equation.

$m = - 2 n - 12 - 1$

Step 2.2

Subtract $1$ from $- 12$ .

$m = - 2 n - 13$
