![### Question 3
Solve the equation:
\[ 4 \cdot \frac{1}{3}(2m - 16) = \frac{1}{3}(2m + 4) \]
**Solution Steps:**
1. Distribute and simplify both sides:
\[
\frac{2}{3}m - \frac{16}{3} = \frac{2}{3}m + \frac{4}{3}
\]
2. Eliminate \(\frac{2}{3}m\) from both sides:
\[
-\frac{16}{3} = \frac{4}{3}
\]
3. Combine like terms:
\[
-28 = -\frac{4}{3}m
\]
4. Solve for \(m\):
\[
m = -7
