Answer: No solution

Explanation:

Given expression

4 (-8m + 5) = -32m - 26

Expand the parentheses and apply the distributive property

-32m - 20 = -32m - 26

Add 32m on both sides

-32m - 20 + 32m = -32m - 26 + 32m

$\boxed{-20\\eq -26}$

Since the resulting integer on both sides does not equal, this means the equation has no solution.

Hope this helps!! :)
