One possible method to solve for m is to add 12 to both sides of the equation to isolate m on one side:
m - 12 + 12 = -16 + 12
Simplifying the left side by canceling out the opposite terms, and evaluating the right side:
m = -4
Therefore, the solution for the equation -12 = -16 is m = -4.
m -12= -16
