Answer:


2(3m+2)

Explanation:

The first step is to solve the parenthesis:


(2m+7)-(3-4m) \\=2m+7-3+4m

Now we put together similar terms:


2m+4m+7-3=6m+4

We have
6m+4 and since the coefficients
6 and
4 are multiples of 2, We can factor a 2 from the equation, wich will give us the following:


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

The answer is
2(3m+2)
