To solve for the value of M in the equation -8M = 16, both sides of the equation should be divided by -8.
Dividing -8M by -8 yields:
(-8M) / (-8) = 16 / (-8)
M = -2
Therefore, the value of M in the equation -8M = 16 is M = -2.
what number should both sides of the equation -8M = 16 be divided by to solve for the value of M?
