what number should both sides of the equation -8m=16 be divided by to solve or the value of m

Both sides of the equation -8m=16 should be divided by -8 to solve for the value of m.

(-8m)/-8 = 16/-8
m = -2

are you sure

Apologies for the mistake in the previous response. Let's correct it.

To solve the equation -8m = 16 for the value of m, we need to divide both sides of the equation by -8:

(-8m)/(-8) = 16/(-8)
m = -2

So, the correct answer is m = -2. Thank you for pointing out the error.
