Answer 2

8

Explanation:

3(8-m)=5m-40

you first distribute 3 through the parenthesis

24-3m=5m-40

Move the variable to the left and change sign

24-3m-5m=-40

now move the constant to the right

-3m-5m=-40-24

collect like terms

-8m=-40-24

-8m=-64

Divide both sides by -8 and negative divide negative number becomes positive

so m = 8
