For m = 8

3m - 3/3
3(8) - 3/3
24 - 1
= 23

3/3 is the same thing as 1

Answer:

Either 7 or 23 - read note

Explanation:

Substitute m for 8.

*Note: I'm not sure if anything is in parentheses so there are two possible answers depending on whether you want it done left to right or by order of operations*

Left to Right:

3(8) - 3 ÷ 3

24 - 3 ÷ 3

21 ÷ 3

7

Order of Operations:

3(8) - 3 ÷ 3

24 - 3 ÷ 3

24 - 1

23
