Question

Expand and simplify
2(m - 3) + 3(m + 4)

Answer 1

5m+6

Explanation:

Hello There!

We can simplify the given expression using distributive property

We can distribute the 2 to the m and - 3

2 * m = 2m

2 * -3 = -6

Now lets distribute the 3 to the m and the 4

3 * m = 3m

3 * 4 = 12

we´re left with

2m - 6 + 3m +12

our final step would be to combine like terms

2m + 3m = 5m

-6 + 12 = 6

so the simplified version would be

5m+6
