Answer:

(m+6)(m+10).

Explanation:

To find this answer, we will need to determine factors of 60 that when added, they are equivalent to 16.

We can begin by listing some factors:

30 and 2

4 and 15

12 and 5

6 and 10

...

Then, we can determine which of these factors can be added together to become 16. From this, we can determine that only factors "6 and 10" become 16 when added together.

When we do this, we can see that only answer 1, (m+6)(m+10), is equivalent to the equation given.
