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

  1. Distribute \( \frac{1}{4} \) on the left side: \[ \frac{1}{4}(8m) + \frac{1}{4}(12) - 7 = -2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2m + 3 - 7 = -2 \]

  2. Combine the constants: \[ 2m - 4 = -2 \]

  3. Add 4 to both sides: \[ 2m = -2 + 4 \] So: \[ 2m = 2 \]

  4. Divide both sides by 2: \[ m = 1 \]

Thus, the solution is \( m = 1 \).

The correct response is:

  • m=1
  • m is equal to 1
