Answer:

m = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

5m - 8 = 3m + 8

Add 8 to both sides of the equation

5m-8+8 = 3m +8+8

Simplify

5m = 3m + 16

Subtract 3m from both sides of the equation

5m - 3m = 3m + 16 -3m

Simplify

2m = 16

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

2m/2 = 16/2

Simplify

m = 8
