Subtract the numbers
10m3
10m3−5m2
10m3−5m2=0
Factor the expression
5m2(2m−1)=0
Divide both sides
m2(2m−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
m2=02m−1=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
m=02m−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2m−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2m=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2m=1
Divide both sides
22m=21
Divide the numbers
m=21
m=0m=21
