#24#

Isolate the variable #m# by doing the same operation to both sides of the equation.

#-12=m/8-15#

#-12color(blue)(+15)=m/8-15color(blue)(+15)#

#3=m/8#

#3color(blue)(*8)=m/8color(blue)(*8)#

#m=24#

#m=24#

Add #15# to both sides:

#-12color(red)(+15)=m/8-15color(red)(+15)#

#3=m/8+0#

#3=m/8#

Multiply both sides by #8#:

#color(red)(8times)3=m/8color(red)(times8#

#24=m#

#-12 +15 = m/8 #

#3 = m/8#

Clear Denominator so Multiply the whole Equation by: #8#

#24 = m#
