Assumptions
1. We are adding two quantities with units of meters.
2. The operation is addition.
3. We are only interested in the resulting unit of the operation.

Understand the operation involved. We are dealing with addition, which is a valid operation for quantities with the same unit.

STEP 3

Identify the units of the quantities being added. Both quantities have the unit 'm' for meters.

STEP 4

When adding quantities with the same unit, the unit remains the same.

STEP 5

Conclude the unit of the result based on the operation.
5m+2m=(5+2)m 5 m + 2 m = (5 + 2) m

STEP 6

The resulting unit is 'm' for meters.
