I am assuming you want to solve for m in each case

8n = -3m + 1

8(-2) = -3m + 1

-16 = -3m + 1

-3m = -17

m = $\frac{17}{3}$

8(2) = -3m + 1

16 = -3m + 1

-3m = 15

m = -5

8(4) = -3m + 1

32 = -3m + 1

-3m = 31

m = $\frac{31}{3}$

1. -16=-3m+1

-17=-3m
17/3= m

2. 16==3m+1

15=-3m
-5= m

3. 32= -3m+1

31=-3m
-31/3= m
