Hello there! :)

Answer:

$\boxed{m=6}$

*The answer must have a POSITIVE sign.*

Explanation:

First, you subtract by 24 from both sides of an equation.

8m+24-24=72-24

Solve!

72-24=48

8m=48

Then, you divide by 8 from both sides of an equation.

(8m)/(8)=(48)/(8)

Finally, you divide by the numbers from left to right.

48/8=6

Final answer is →
$\boxed{m=6}$

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
