Answer: m = 7
Explanation: When you’re asked to solve for m in an equation, what you’re really being asked to do is to get m by itself on one side of the equation.
In this problem, since 1 is being added to m, in order to get m
by itself, we must subtract 1 from the left side of the equation.
If we subtract 1 from the left side of the equation, remember that
we must also subtract 1 from the right side of the equation.
So on the left, +1 and -1 cancel each other out
and on the right, 8 – 1 simplifies to 7.
So m = 7.
Answer:m= 7.
Step-by-step explanation: first you do 8-1. 8-1 gives you 7. Therefore m=7
