Answer

$m\approx 2.156$

Work Step by Step

$[1+\displaystyle \frac{m}{3}]^{5}=15\qquad \color{blue}{\text{ ... } /(...)^{1/5}}$ $[(1+\displaystyle \frac{m}{3})^{5}]^{1/5}=15^{1/5}$ $1+\displaystyle \frac{m}{3}=15^{1/5}\qquad \color{blue}{\text{ ... } /-1}$ $\displaystyle \frac{m}{3}=15^{1/5}-1\qquad \color{blue}{\text{ ... } /\times 3}$ $m=3(15^{1/5}-1)$ $m\approx 2.156$
