First Part:
For every parenthesis with a plus sign to its left, you can eliminate the parenthesis (take into account that plus×minus=minus)
a + a - b - a + b
Then you add like terms. This means you add/subtract a with a and same with b and b (I'll organize the terms in alphabetical order but it's not neccesary)
a + a - a - b + b
Since a - a =0 and b - b = 0,
a + 0 + 0
Answer: a
Second part
Since you have a minus to the left of a parenthesis, you have to change the signs of all the terms inside the parenthesis before you eliminate the parenthesis.

Answer: 2a^2

<em>changing sides changes sign division to multiplication.</em>
Answer: G I would say would be the correct answer! Good luck
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
m= 15
Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for m, start by moving the constants (numbers that are not attached to any variable) to the other side of the equation.

Simplify:

Multiply both sides by 9:

Crossing out 3 from the denominator and from 9:
m= 5(3)
m= 15
