Hi!

Answer:

-11m-8

*The answer must have a negative sign.*

Explanation:

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

First, you expand.


-8(m+1)=-8m-8

Then you rewrite the problem down.


-3m-8m-8

Finally, you add by the numbers and similar elements.


-3m-8m=-11m


3+8=11

Final answer is -11m-8

I hope this helps you!

Have a nice day! :)
