Expand and simplify:

\[ 2(3m + 4) + 3(m - 5) \]

so we distribute the 2 to the 3m and the +4 so 2 3m=6m 2 4=8 6m+8
we then distribute the 3 to the m and the - 5 3 m=3m 3 -5=-15 ((+) times (+) or (-) times (-)=(+), (-) times (+) or (+) times (-)=(-)) 3m-15
add 6m+8 and 3m-15 6m+8+3m-15 add like terms (m terms + m terms and number + numbers) 6+3=9 so 3m+6m=9m 9m-7

Final answer is 9m - 7. 2(3m+4)+3(m-5) Multiply it out: 6m+8+3m-15 Combine like terms: 6m+3m=9m 8-15= -7 Final answer: 9m-7 Hope this helped!

To simplify 2 ( 3 m + 4 ) + 3 ( m − 5 ) , distribute the constants to get 6 m + 8 + 3 m − 15 . Combining like terms results in 9 m − 7 .
