Hey there again, Bryanatwin2!
To solve for m in the equation, first we need yo distribute what's inside the parenthesis. We multiply -4 times what's in the parenthesis and we will get
-8m + 4 + 2 = 3m - 16
We combine like terms +4 +2 = 6
-8m + 6 = 3m - 16
Now we need to move all the m valued to one side
So we add 8m both sides to cancel it out on the left side and we are left with
6 = 11m - 16
Now we need to isolated 7m and to do so we add 16 to both sides to cancel it out on the right and we end up with
22 = 11m
No we have to isolate m by dividing both sides by 11 since m it's being multiplied by 11
And we get
2 = m
or m = 2
So the answer is C
Thank you for using Brainly.
See you soon!
