Final answer:

By solving the equation 8=3m+26, we find that m=-6. However, this result is not listed among the given options, suggesting a potential error in the question as presented.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the value of m when өm=8, we use the given function өn=3n+26. By substituting 8 for өm, we set up the equation 8=3m+26.

To solve for m, we first subtract 26 from both sides of the equation, giving us:

-18=3m

Next, we divide both sides by 3 to isolate m:

m=-18/3

m=-6

However, this result is not one of the provided options (a) 2, (b) 3, (c) 4, or (d) 5. It appears there may have been a misunderstanding or a typo in the original question since the solution is not included in the given choices.
