Answer 1

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.

So the correct order will be:

• 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.
