<reasoning>

Isolate the variable m

Using the Linear Equations knowledge point
\[

$$\begin{aligned} -0.017 + m &= 0.03 \\ m &= 0.03 + 0.017 \end{aligned}$$

\]

Calculate the sum of the decimals

Using the Decimal Arithmetic knowledge point
\[

$$\begin{aligned} 0.03 + 0.017 &= 0.030 + 0.017 \\ &= 0.047 \end{aligned}$$

\]
</reasoning>

<answer>
\(m = 0.047\)
