You can put this solution on YOUR website!
When you have two variables and only one equation, solving for one variable can only be done in terms of the other variables.
What you want to do is get the m on one side and everything else on the other.
In this case, there is no equation, so you really can;t 'solve for' anything. If you had been given
2m%2B3%2Bn+=+0 , then you could solve for m
2m+=+-3+-n+
+m+=+-%283%2Bn%29%2F2
