First Method (Distributive Property)
(2m - 5m) (-5)
Rearrange the equation to make it easier.
(-5) (2m - 5m)
In distributive property, it's all about multiplying. The -5 goes to the 2m and the 5m. Like this: (-5 • 2m) - (-5 • 5m).
-10m + 25m
15m
Second Method
(2m - 5m) (-5)
Since 2m and 5m have the same variable, we can subtract them.
(-3m) (-5)
Multiply.
15m
15m is your answer. I hope this helps!

Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 4) + 2 = 2 + 5(x – 4)
Step 1: distributive property
3(x + 4) + 2 = 2 + 5(x – 4)
3x + 12 + 2 = 2 + 5x - 20
Step 2: collect like terms
3x + 12 + 2 = 2 + 5x - 20
3x + 14 = 5x - 18
Step 3: Addition property of equality
3x + 14 = 5x - 18
3x + 14 + 18 = 5x - 18 + 18
3x + 32 = 5x
Step 4: subtraction property of equality
3x + 32 - 3x = 5x - 3x
32 = 2x
Step 5: division property of equality
32 = 2x
32/2 = 2x/2
16 = x
x = 16
