Hello there! :)

Answer:


\boxed{m=6}

*The answer must have a POSITIVE sign.*

Explanation:

First, you subtract by 24 from both sides of an equation.


8m+24-24=72-24

Solve!


72-24=48


8m=48

Then, you divide by 8 from both sides of an equation.


(8m)/(8)=(48)/(8)

Finally, you divide by the numbers from left to right.


48/8=6

Final answer is →
\boxed{m=6}

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)
