Answer:
7 - 2m can be translated to "7 minus two times m" or "the difference between 7 and twice m".
3(m + 2) = 15 can be translated to "three times the sum of m and 2 is equal to 15" or "the product of 3 and the sum of m and 2 is 15".
To solve the equation, we can start by distributing the 3 on the left side:
3(m + 2) = 15
3m + 6 = 15
Then, we can subtract 6 from both sides:
3m + 6 - 6 = 15 - 6
3m = 9
Finally, we can divide both sides by 3:
3m/3 = 9/3
m = 3
Therefore, the solution to the equation 3(m + 2) = 15 is m = 3.
5m - m(2 - m) can be translated to "5m minus the product of m and the difference between 2 and m" or "the difference between 5m and m times the quantity 2 minus m".
To simplify the expression, we can use the distributive property to expand the second term:
5m - m(2 - m) = 5m - 2m + m^2 = m^2 + 3m
Therefore, the simplified expression is m^2 + 3m.
