Answer 1

To solve the equation \(\frac{1}{4}(8m + 12) - 7 = -2\), follow these steps:

**Step 1:** Add 7 to both sides of the equation.
\[
\frac{1}{4}(8m + 12) = 5
\]

**Step 2:** Multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction.
\[
8m + 12 = 20
\]

**Step 3:** Subtract 12 from both sides.
\[
8m = 8
\]

**Step 4:** Divide by 8 to solve for \(m\).
\[
m = 1
\]

Now, for the answer options for \(m\), select:

**m=1** or **m is equal to 1**.
