8m - 5n + 2m + 6n = Simplifying 8m + - 5n + 2m + 6n = 0 Reorder the terms: 8m + 2m + - 5n + 6n = 0 Combine like terms: 8m + 2m = 10m 10m + - 5n + 6n = 0 Combine like terms: - 5n + 6n = 1n 10m + 1n = 0 Solving 10m + 1n = 0 Solving for variable 'm'. Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1n' to each side of the equation. 10m + 1n + - 1n = 0 + - 1n Combine like terms: 1n + - 1n = 0 10m + 0 = 0 + - 1n 10m = 0 + - 1n Remove the zero: 10m = - 1n Divide each side by '10'. m = - 0.1n Simplifying m = - 0.1n.
