Answer:

m = -21.

Explanation:

To solve this equation, we can use the distributive property to expand the left side and the right side of the equation:

19(2m - 16) = 13(2m + 4)

38m - 304 = 26m + 52

Then we can combine like terms on both sides of the equation to obtain:

38m - 26m = 52 - 304

12m = -252

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 12 to find the value of m:

12m / 12 = -252 / 12

m = -21

Therefore, the value of m that satisfies the equation is m = -21.
