Answer:

m = -2

Explanation:

First, let's move all variables to one side of the equation. (Don't forget to change the signs when you move the numbers to the other side.)

18m + 7m = -60 + 2 + 8

Now we simplify to get this:

25m = -50

Now we divide -50 by 25 which gets us -2.

Therefore, m = -2

Hope this helps!
