Hey there!
9(20m – 5) + (m + 7)
DISTRIBUTE
9(20m) + 9(–5) + m + 7
9(20m) + 9(–5)
9(20m) = 180m
9(–5) = -45
NEW EQUATION: 180 – 45 + m + 7
COMBINE your LIKE TERMS
(180m + m) + (–45 + 7)
“m” itself is understood as an invisible 1!
180m + m = 181m
–45 + 7 = –38
NEW EQUATION: 181m – 38
ANSWER: 181m – 38 ☑️
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
