Explanation:

Step 1: Define

10 = 5m/4

Step 2: Solve for m

1. Multiply 4 on both sides: 40 = 5m
2. Divide 5 on both sides: 8 = m
3. Rewrite: m = 8

Step 3: Check

Plug in m into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

1. Substitute in m: 10 = 5(8)/4
2. Multiply: 10 = 40/4
3. Divide: 10 = 10

Here we see that 10 does indeed equal 10.

∴ m = 8 is the solution to the equation.
