Answer:

m=6

Explanation:

So solve this question we will have to deal with the bracket first

So let's get to work

8(m-2)=5m+2

Open the bracket first

8m-16=5m+2

Let's collect like terms

8m-5m=2+16

3m=18

Let's make m the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 3

m=6

Therefore the final answer for m is 6

The only way to get the right answer is to follow the step by step procedure

I hope you understand
