See the entire solution process below:

Step 1) Subtract #color(red)(13)# from each side of the equation to isolate the #m# term while keeping the equation balanced:

#13 + m/4 - color(red)(13) = 6 - color(red)(13)#

#13 - color(red)(13) + m/4 = -7#

#0 + m/4 = -7#

#m/4 = -7#

Step 2) Multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(4)# to solve for #m# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(4) xx m/4 = color(red)(4) xx -7#

#cancel(color(red)(4)) xx m/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4))) = -28#

#m = -28#
