Subtract 2 from both sides:m+2=17To solve for m, we need to isolate m on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation. m+2−2=17−2
Find the value of m:m=15After subtracting 2 from both sides, we find that m equals 15. This is the value of m that satisfies the equation.
