(m-2)-5=8-2(m-4) how do you solve this?

First, simplify both sides:

(m - 2) - 5 = m - 7

8 - 2 * (m - 4j = 8 - 2m + 8 = 16 - 2m

So,

m - 7 = 16 - 2m

Now, add 2m to both sides:

3m - 7 = 16

Then add 7 to both sides:

3m = 23

Divide both sides by 3:

m = 23/3

if y=4x then you will substitute 4x in for y in the second equation.

8x + 4x = 18 combine like terms

12x = 18 divide by 12 on both sides

x = 18/12 or 3/2

now replace x in the first equation with 3/2 to get

y = 4 3/2

y = 6

the answer is a

(3/2,6)
