Answer:

One Solution m = 8

Explanation:

7/8 m - 1/2 = 3/16 m + 5 Add 1/2 to both sides

7/8 m = 3/16 m + 5 + 1/2

7/8 m = 3/16 m + 5 1/2 Subtract 3/16 m from both sides

7/8 m - 3/16m = 5 1/5 Change 7/8 to 14 / 16

14/16 m - 3/16 m = 5 1/2 Subtract on the left. Change 5 1/2 to 5.5

11/16m = 5.5 Multiply both sides by 16

11m = 5.5 * 16

11m = 88

11m/11 = 88/11

m = 8
