If n = 8 and 16 • 2m = 4n - 8, then m = ?

M=3

you begin by plugging in 'n'. 4 (8) - 8 gives you 24.

so, 16 x 2m=24.

move the 16 over through division and you are given 24/16, which is 1.5.

so, 2m=1.5.

now move the 2 over through division you are given 1.5/2, giving you the final answer of 0.75 or 3/4

32m = 32 - 8

32m = 24

m = 24/32

m = 0.75 or 3/4
