How any is?
8m + 27 = 2m - 3
with procedure and testing

8m+27= 2m-3
take 2m and subtract it from 8m, this gives you 6m. now your equation is 6m+27=-3.
subtract 27 from -3, this will make it 6m=-30.
divide 30 by 6. this gives you your answer. m=-5, because -30 divided by 6 equals -5.
now to test it you can plug -5 into the equation in place of M. 8 times -5 equals -40, plus 27 equals -13. 2 times -5 equals -10 plus -3 equals -13.
