Answer 1

EXPLANATION

Given the expression

12m + 5(4-5m)

Applying the distributive property:

12m + 20 -25m

Combining like terms:

--------> -13m + 20

Then,

8 + 5g + 6(9g-2)

Applying the distributive property:

8 + 5g + 6*9g - 2*6

Simplifying:

8 + 5g + 54g - 12

Combining like terms:

--------> 59g - 4

The answers are:

-13m + 20 and 59g - 4
