2(m+1)+3=(m-2)5
2m +2+3=5m-10
2m+5= 5m - 10
2m+15 = 5m
15=3m
5=m
m=5
m equals 5.
2(5+1) +3 = (5 - 2) 5
5+1 = 6. 6x2 = 12. 12 + 3 = 15.
then
5 - 2 = 3. 3x5 = 15.
Both sides equal 15 so therefore m = 5.

m = 5
2m + 2 + 3 = 5m - 10
15 = 3m
5 = m

2m+2+3=5m-10
2m+2+3-5m-10= zero
-3m+15= zero
-3m= -15
3m=15
m=5 good luck :)

first remove the parentheses and combine like terms to get:
2m+5=5m-10
subtract 2m from both sides and you're left with:
5=3m-10
add 10 to both sides to get:
3m=15
Divide both sides by 3 to get:
m=5
Hope this helps!
