Q. Solve for mm. \newlinem2+2m=0m^2 + 2m = 0\newlineWrite each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas. \newlinem=m = ____
  1. Factor out common factor: Factor out the common factor mm.\newlineFactor out mm from m2m^2 and 2m2m.\newlinem(m+2)=0m(m + 2) = 0
  2. Set equal to zero: Set each factor equal to zero to find the values of mm.m=0m = 0 or m+2=0m + 2 = 0
  3. Solve for mm: Solve the second equation m+2=0m + 2 = 0 for mm.\newlineSubtract 22 from both sides to isolate mm.\newlinem=2m = -2
