Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Part A:

4(m + 3 + 5m) =

= 4m + 12 + 20m

4(m + 3 + 5m) =

= 4(6m + 3)

Part B:

Use the distributive property on the given expression to get the first expression.

4(m + 3 + 5m) =

= 4 * m + 4 * 3 + 4 * 5m

= 4m + 12 + 20m

Part C:

Let m = 2

a. Substitute 2 for m in the original expression:

4(m + 3 + 5m) =

= 4(2 + 3 + 5 * 2)

= 4(5 + 10)

= 4(15)

= 60

b. Substitute 2 for m in the second equivalent expression of part A.

4(6m + 3) =

= 4(6 * 2 + 3)

= 4(12 + 3)

= 4(15)

= 60

By substituting 2 for m, both expressions evaluate to 60.
