Line # 4m − 8 = 2m
1 −2m − 8 = 0
2 −2m = 8
3 m = −4
The entire solution is correct.

The provided solution is wrong. There is a mistake in Line #1.

The provided solution is wrong. There is a mistake in Line #2.

Answer 2

. 4m − 8 = 2m .....put variable m on one side and the (constant) 8 on another side;
4m - 2m = 8 ........simplify
2m = 8 .....divide through by 2
m = 4

The mistake starts on line #1
