Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(2m + -3n)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
2m + -3n = 0

Solving
2m + -3n = 0

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3n' to each side of the equation.
2m + -3n + 3n = 0 + 3n

Combine like terms: -3n + 3n = 0
2m + 0 = 0 + 3n
2m = 0 + 3n
Remove the zero:
2m = 3n

Divide each side by '2'.
m = 1.5n

Simplifying
m = 1.5n
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(m + 2n)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
m + 2n = 0

Solving
m + 2n = 0

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2n' to each side of the equation.
m + 2n + -2n = 0 + -2n

Combine like terms: 2n + -2n = 0
m + 0 = 0 + -2n
m = 0 + -2n
Remove the zero:
m = -2n

Simplifying
m = -2n
Solution
m = {1.5n, -2n}
