Answer:
m=1
Step-by-step explanation:
1st, distribute the -8 on the right side in the paranthesis.
-19-6m=-m-40+16m
Since the 8 is a negative, -2m x -8 = positive 16m
2nd, group the m's on 1 side, and numbers on the other.
-19+40= -m+16m+6m
40 becomes positive and 6m become negative as they switch sides.
3rd, simplify both sides.
21=21m
Finally, divide both sides by 21.
1=m
Good Luck!
Steps:
1. -19-6m=-m-8(5-2m) (Next, multiply 5 and -2m by -8.)
2. -19-6m=-m-40+16m (Next, group the #'s and m's together.)
3. -19+40=-m+16m+6m (Next, simplify both sides.)
4. 21=21m (Next, divide both sides by 21.)
5. 1=m
Your answer is m=1.
