Answer:

m = 32

Explanation:

Since x and y are equal, just set the equations equal to each other:

x = y

3(m + 2) = 5m - 58

Next, algebraically solve for m.

First, distribute:

3m + 6 = 5m - 58

Next, isolate the variable m:

6 + 58 = 5m - 3m

Then collect like terms and simplify:

64 = 2m

m = 32
