It multiplies the m and 2 by the 2, giving the 2 to the 2 numbers in the parentheses, turning 2 (m+2) into 2×m and 2×2, getting 2m+4=22, and to get m, you first take away the 4 by subtracting 4 from both sides, then dividing 18 and 2m by 2 to get m=18

Answer:

m = 9

It means that you are multiplying each of the values inside the parentheses by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

2(m + 2) = 22

2m + 4 = 22

2m + 4 - 4 = 22 - 4

2m = 18 -Divide both sides by 2

m = 9
