To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{4}(8m+12)−7=−2 \), we follow these steps in order:
Step 1: Distribute \( \frac{1}{4} \) to the terms in the parentheses.
Step 2: Combine like terms to isolate the term with \( m \).
Step 3: Solve for \( m \) by isolating \( m \).
Step 4: Check the solution for correctness.
