Full solution

Q. 16m+40 16 m+40
  1. Subtract 4040: To isolate mm, we need to get rid of the 4040 on the left side. So we subtract 4040 from both sides.\newline16m+4040=04016m + 40 - 40 = 0 - 40
  2. Divide by 1616: Now we have 16m=4016m = -40. Next, we divide both sides by 1616 to solve for mm.\newline16m16=4016\frac{16m}{16} = \frac{-40}{16}
  3. Check for Error: After dividing, we get m=2.5m = -2.5. Let's check if there's a math error.\newline2.5×16+40=40+40=0-2.5 \times 16 + 40 = -40 + 40 = 0, so it looks good.
