Hey there! :-)

The Distributive Property states the following:

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Where we distribute a by multiplying it times b and c

Now, let's simplify our expression:

-2(4+m)

-8-2m

or

-2m-8

Hence, the final answer is

$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{-2m-8}}}$

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any other queries; if so, please comment.
