Answer: m = 28

Explanation:

Our task is to solve the following equation:

$\sf{\cfrac{1}{4}m-3=4}$

$\sf{\cfrac{1}{4}m=4+3}$

Simplify the right-hand side:

$\sf{\cfrac{1}{4}m=7}$

Now, multiply both sides by 4.

$\sf{m=7*4}$

$\sf{m=28}$

Checking your solution

Substitute 28 for m:

$\sf{\cfrac{1}{4}*28-3=4}$

$\sf{\cfrac{1}{4}*\cfrac{28}{1}-3=4}$

$\sf{\cfrac{28}{4}-3=4}$

$\sf{7-3=4}$

$\sf{4=4}$

Our answer has been confirmed; since we have a true statement, we know that the value of m, m = 28, makes this equation true.

Therefore, the value of m is 28.
