Simplifying
(m + 2)(2m + -6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(2 + m)(2m + -6) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(2 + m)(-6 + 2m) = 0

Multiply (2 + m) * (-6 + 2m)
(2(-6 + 2m) + m(-6 + 2m)) = 0
((-6 * 2 + 2m * 2) + m(-6 + 2m)) = 0
((-12 + 4m) + m(-6 + 2m)) = 0
(-12 + 4m + (-6 * m + 2m * m)) = 0
(-12 + 4m + (-6m + 2m2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 4m + -6m = -2m
(-12 + -2m + 2m2) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(-2 + -1m)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying -2 + -1m = 0 Solving -2 + -1m = 0 Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '2' to each side of the equation. -2 + 2 + -1m = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: -2 + 2 = 0 0 + -1m = 0 + 2 -1m = 0 + 2 Combine like terms: 0 + 2 = 2 -1m = 2 Divide each side by '-1'. m = -2 Simplifying m = -2

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(3 + -1m)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 3 + -1m = 0 Solving 3 + -1m = 0 Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-3' to each side of the equation. 3 + -3 + -1m = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0 0 + -1m = 0 + -3 -1m = 0 + -3 Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3 -1m = -3 Divide each side by '-1'. m = 3 Simplifying m = 3

Solution

m = {-2, 3}
