Answer 1

$\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

$m = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$0 = 12 + 2(m - 8)$

• remove the parentheses and distribute 2 through the parentheses

$0 = 12 + 2m - 16$

• calculate the difference

$0 = - 4 + 2m$

• move the variable to the left hand side and change its sign

$- 2m = - 4$

• divide both sides of the equation by -2

$= m = 2$

Answer 2

Answer:

m = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

0 = 12 + 2 ( m - 8 )

→ Expand the brackets

0 = 12 + 2m - 16

→ Add 16 to both sides

16 = 12 + 2m

→ Minus 12 from both sides

4 = 2m

→ Divide both sides by 2

2 = m
