m2+1×17
Add the numbers
m3×17
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
17m3
17m3−16=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
17m3=0+16
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
17m3=16
Divide both sides
1717m3=1716
Divide the numbers
m3=1716
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3m3=31716
Calculate
m=31716
