Solve for m m/16-9=-8

$\frac{m}{16} - 9 = - 8$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $m$ to the right side of the equation.

Add $9$ to both sides of the equation.

$\frac{m}{16} = - 8 + 9$

Add $- 8$ and $9$ .

$\frac{m}{16} = 1$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $16$ .

$16 \frac{m}{16} = 16 \cdot 1$

Step 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $16$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$16 \frac{m}{16} = 16 \cdot 1$

Rewrite the expression.

$m = 16 \cdot 1$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $16$ by $1$ .

$m = 16$
