To solve the equation, we need to combine like terms:
4(-4 - 8m) + 28m + 4m = -272
Expanding the parentheses:
-16 - 32m + 28m + 4m = -272
Combining like terms:
-16 - 32m + 32m = -272
Simplifying:
-16 = -272
This equation is a contradiction, as -16 does not equal -272. Therefore, there are no solutions to this equation.
