To find the solution to the given expression, we simply isolate the unknown variable m and perform the necessary operations. The solution is as follows.

(3/5)*(2m-10) = (2/3)*m + 10
15*[(3/5)*(2m-10) = (2/3)*m + 10]
9(2m-10) = 10m + 150
18m-90 =10m + 150
18m - 10m = 150 + 90
8m = 240
m = 240/8
m = 30

First, we multiply the whole expression to the least common denominator (LCD) which is 15. Multiplication and division were then performed accordingly. The terms containing the variable m were transposed to the left side of the equation. Mathematical operations were then applied to get the final value of m which is equal to 30.
