0=12+3m-15
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by m-5.
0=-3+3m
Subtract 15 from 12 to get -3.
-3+3m=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3m=3
Add 3 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.
m=\frac{3}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
m=1
Divide 3 by 3 to get 1.
