Answer 2

Question:     Answer: m = 5                    

-3(m + -8) + -12 = -3 solve for m

Step-by-step

-3(m + -8) + -12 = -3

Add 12 to both sides

-3(m + -8) + - 12  =  -3

                   +12    +12

-3 ( m - 8 ) = 9

Divide both sides by -3

-3 ( m - 8 )  = 9      

       -3         -3        

m - 8 = -3

add 8 to both sides

m - 8 = -3

   + 8   +8

m = 5
