Answer:

3

Explanation:

2(4m + m) = 30

8m + 2m = 30

10m = 30

Divide by 10 on each side

m = 3


Check:

2 ( (4 x 3) + 3) = 30

2 ( 12 + 3) = 30

24 + 6 = 30

30 = 30

Hope this helps! :)

m=11

Explanation:

the top side is 4, so that means the bottom side will also be 4, add them both, you get 8, 30-8 = 22, 22/2 = 11, m=11
