Answer:

54

Explanation:

The variable m equals -2, so what you would do is plug it into the equation.

4(-2+5)+42

Next you would distribute the 4 into -2 & 5.

(-8+20) + 42

Add what's in the parenthesis.

12 + 42

Once you add that you will be left with your answer which is 54.

Hope this helped!
