Answer

$m=6$

Work Step by Step

Using the properties of equality, the solution to the given equation, $ 2(3+4m)-6=48 $, is \begin{array}{l} 6+8m-6=48 \\\\ 8m=48 \\\\ m=\dfrac{48}{8} \\\\ m=6 .\end{array} CHECKING: \begin{array}{l} 2(3+4\cdot6)-6=48 \\\\ 2(3+24)-6=48 \\\\ 2(27)-6=48 \\\\ 54-6=48 \\\\ 48=48 \text{ (TRUE)} .\end{array} Hence, the solution is $ m=6 $.
