1)
3(m + 4)^2 - 8 = 2(m + 4)
First, move everything to the left hand side.
3(m + 4)^2 - 2(m + 4) - 8 = 0
Now, factor this quadratic; this is no different than factoring 3y^2 - 2y - 8 = 0.
[3(m + 4) + 4] [(m + 4) - 2] = 0
Simplify within the brackets.
[3m + 12 + 4] [m + 4 - 2] = 0
[3m + 16] [m - 2] = 0
Equate each factor to 0.
3m + 16 = 0
m - 2 = 0
m = {-16/3, 2}

Substitute x = m+4 to get
3x² - 2x - 8 and solve for the roots. Then substitute m = x -4 to get the m solution values.
2y - 5 + 3y = 4 - (y + 2)
2y - 5 + 3y = 4 -y - 2
6y = 7
y = 7/6

1. solve as a quatratic where x=(m+4)
3(m+4)^2 - 2(m+4) - 8 = 0
m= (2 +- sqrt(4+96))/6 - 4
m= 12/6 - 4 or -8/6 - 4
m = -2 or -5 1/3
2. first simplify
5y - 5 = -4y - 8
9y - 5 = -8
9y = -3
y = -1/3

1. 3(m+4)^2-8=2(m+4)
3(m^2+8m+16)-8=2m+8
3m^2+24m+48-8=2m+8
3m^2+22m+32=0
(3m+16)(m+2)=0
3m+16=0
m=-16/3
m+2=0
m=-2
m=-16/3, -2
2. 2y-5+3y=4-(y+2)
5y-5=4-y-2
6y=7
y=7/6

Well this is basic standerd math. (I think) For number two you have to add all the ys so you have 5y then left over you have the equation:
5y - 5=(y+) then you take 5y and minus it from 5 and you get: 0=(y+2) Then you go in the brackets and do that equation which in the end equals
: 2y and that your answer

1.
Let m+4=t;
3t^2-2t-8=0;
3t^2+4t-6t-8=0;
t(3t+4)-2(3t+4)=0;
(t-2)*(3t+4)=0;
t-2=0 or 3t+4=0;
t=2 or t=-4/3
Case 1
m+4=2;
m=-2.
Case 2
m+4=-4/3;
m=-4/3-4
=-16/3
Hence, m=-2 or m=-16/3.
2
5y-5=2-y;
6y=7
;y=7/6
