Question

Expand and simplify: 3(m + 2) + 4( 6 + m)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply through the 3 of the first bracket to get 3m +12. Then multiply out the second bracket by -2 to get -8m -2.

Write it out in a line: 3m + 12 - 8m -2

Simplify: -5m +10

Divide by -5 again to simplify further: m - 2

Answer 2

Answer:

=7m+30

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribute:

=(3)(m)+(3)(2)+(4)(6)+(4)(m)

=3m+6+24+4m

Combine Like Terms:

=3m+6+24+4m

=(3m+4m)+(6+24)

=7m+30
