Answer:


\boxed{m = 12}

Explanation:


2m-44=76-8m

Simplify both sides of the equation.


2m + -44 = 76 + -8m


2m - 44 = -8m + 76

Add 8m to both sides.


2m - 44 + 8m = -8m + 76 + 8m


10m - 44 = 76

Add 44 to both sides.


10m - 44 + 44 = 76 + 44


10m = 120

Divide both sides by 10.


(10m)/(10) = (120)/(10)


m= 12

Hope this helped you!

Answer:

m = 12

Explanation:

2m − 44 = 76 − 8m

Move all terms containing m to the left side of the equation

10m − 44 = 76

Add 44 to both sides of the equation

10m = 120

Divide each term by 10 and simplify.

10m/10 = 120/10

m = 12
