Answer:

We have the value as 3m-7

Explanation:

It is given that we have the real number m. Now we are required to find the simplified form or the value of the expression:
8 + 3(m - 5)

Thus we can write it as:


8 + 3(m - 5)\\=8 + 3m-3\cdot \:5

Here we have to use the property:


a\left(b-c\right)=ab-ac

So now we have:


8 + 3m-3\cdot \:5\\=8+3m-15\\=3m-7

So this is the required final value of the expression.
