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
