m = -64
m = -64

m = -1
m = -1

m = -128
m = -128

m = -2

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{m}{8} - 4 = -12 \), we can follow these steps:

1. First, add 4 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \( m \):

\[ \frac{m}{8} = -12 + 4 \] \[ \frac{m}{8} = -8 \]

2. Next, multiply both sides by 8 to solve for \( m \):

\[ m = -8 \times 8 \] \[ m = -64 \]

Thus, the solution is:

\[ m = -64 \]

So the correct response is \( \text{m = -64} \).
