3\times 6=2\left(m+5\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,6.
18=2\left(m+5\right)
Multiply 3 and 6 to get 18.
18=2m+10
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by m+5.
2m+10=18
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2m=18-10
Subtract 10 from both sides.
2m=8
Subtract 10 from 18 to get 8.
m=\frac{8}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
m=4
Divide 8 by 2 to get 4.
