Solve for m.

m over 8−4=−12

1 answer

To solve for m, we will first simplify the equation.

m/8 - 4 = -12

To isolate m, we will add 4 to both sides of the equation.

m/8 = -12 + 4

m/8 = -8

Next, we will multiply both sides of the equation by 8 to get rid of the fraction.

8 * (m/8) = 8 * -8

m = -64

Therefore, the solution for m is -64.
