Hope this explains it.

Answer 2

The simplified form of the provided expression is
`2m-18`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided expression.

`(1)/(8)(16m-8)-17`

Now, use the distributive property:
`a(b+c)=ab+ac`

`((1)/(8)* 16m-(1)/(8)* 8)-17`

`2m-1-17`

Subtract the like terms.

`2m-1-17`

`2m-18`

Hence, the simplified form of the provided expression is
`2m-18`.
