Question 722544: I need to have remove the brackets and collect the like terms of this but it is really confusing me!
2(m+4)+3(m+6)

Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
2(m+4)+3(m+6)
if we multiply what's inside the brackets, we can get rid of the brackets
since there is a plus between, the signs all remain the same
2m + 8 + 3m + 18
collect like terms
2m + 3m + 8 + 18
so we have
5m + 26
