5\sqrt{m}-2-\left(-2\right)=18-\left(-2\right)
Add 2 to both sides of the equation.
5\sqrt{m}=18-\left(-2\right)
Subtracting -2 from itself leaves 0.
5\sqrt{m}=20
Subtract -2 from 18.
\frac{5\sqrt{m}}{5}=\frac{20}{5}
Divide both sides by 5.
\sqrt{m}=\frac{20}{5}
Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.
\sqrt{m}=4
Divide 20 by 5.
m=16
Square both sides of the equation.
