Solve m2^2-(m+3)2+2m+1=0

$$m 2 ^ { 2 } - ( m + 3 ) 2 + 2 m + 1 = 0$$

Solve for m

$$m = \frac{5}{4} = 1\frac{1}{4} = 1.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.

$$m\times 4-\left(m+3\right)\times 2+2m+1=0$$

Use the distributive property to multiply m+3 by 2.

$$m\times 4-\left(2m+6\right)+2m+1=0$$

To find the opposite of 2m+6, find the opposite of each term.

$$m\times 4-2m-6+2m+1=0$$

Combine m\times 4 and -2m to get 2m.

$$2m-6+2m+1=0$$

Combine 2m and 2m to get 4m.

$$4m-6+1=0$$

Add -6 and 1 to get -5.

$$4m-5=0$$

Add 5 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$4m=5$$

Divide both sides by 4.

$$m=\frac{5}{4}$$
