Question

9(-8m + 10) + 4(6m + 9)

Answer 1

-48m + 126

Explanation:

9(-8m + 10) + 4(6m + 9)

use distributive property

9(-8m + 10)

=

-72m + 90

and

4(6m + 9)

=

24m + 36

-72 + 36 + 90 + 36

combine like terms

(-72m + 36) + (90+36)

=

-48m + 126

Your answer is

-48m + 126

unless you're asking what m is. It's -2.623 (decimal form) , -21/8 (exact form) , -2 5/8 (mixed number)

9(-8m + 10) + 4(6m + 9)

-72m + 90 + 24m + 36

-48m = 126

m = -2.625
