$m = -12$

To solve this we must divide each of the sides by $15$ , what you do to one side, you do to the other

$=> -180 / 15 = (15m)/15$

Now we see $-180/15$ cancels to give to: $-12/ 1 = -12$

And we know $15/15 = 1$ as anything divided by itself equals 1

$=> -12 = m$

$m = -12$

How do you solve -180=15m-180=15m?
