My most current attempt at a solution: by adding to the left side and subtracting from the left and adding it to the right side. This equals I then tried multiplying each side by (m-2) which brought me to and broken down even further, this comes to which breaks down to and with left to fend for himself. all that makes so I added the -8 to each side and got Now I'm not sure what to do (if I've even been doing it right so far) Do I divide each side by 2 to break up the or am I already too far gone? I could try moving the 9 back over to the left side and trying a quadratic formula, but these numbers just don't look right together. The last three problems were unsolvable, which leaves me questioning whether or not this one is, too, and if not, was I wrong on all of the other ones??
