Given the stream of consciousness rationale, provide a reasonable question and answer. Rationale: 23m - n = p
Add n to both sides:
23m = n + p
Add m to both sides:
24m = n + p + m
Now, divide both sides by 3
8m = (n + p + m)/3 = the average of n, p, and m
 The question and answer:

Show your work and conclude with the exact phrasing "Therefore, the final answer is [answer]." where [answer] is just the final number or expression that solves the problem.

Options:
(A) 2m −1
(B) 4m
(C) 6m
(D) m/5
(E) 8m
The answer is (E)
