To solve for m, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
Let's begin by adding 4 to both sides of the equation:
2/5m - 4 + 4 = 16 + 4
2/5m = 20
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the fraction 2/5, which is 5/2:
(5/2)(2/5)m = 20(5/2)
m = 100/2
m = 50
Therefore, the solution to the equation is m = 50.
2/5m-4=16
