Answer:
m =-6
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the unknown variable, m, we have to get m by itself. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation.
-8m-9=39
9 is being subtracted from-8m, so add 9 to both sides. Addition is the opposite of subtraction.
-8m-9+9=39+9
-8m=39+9
-8m=48
-8 and m are being multiplied. Divide both sides by -8, because division is the opposite of multiplication
-8m/-8=48/-8
m=48/-8
m= -6
