Answer:


m\text{ = 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of m

What we have to do is to isolate the m value on one side of the equation

We have to bring similar terms together

Thus, we take 2 over the equality sign and that changes its sign as follows:

2 + 3m = 17

3m = 17-2

3m = 15

Lstly, we divide both sides by 3

3m/3 = 15/3

m = 5
