Since both terms in the expression have an $\"m\"$ in common factor the $\"m\"$ out.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%28%2812m%29%2F3%29-2%283%29=m%288%2812%2F3%29-2%283%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now simplify.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%28%2812m%29%2F3%29-2%283%29=m%288%284%29-6%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%28%2812m%29%2F3%29-2%283%29=m%2832-6%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%28%2812m%29%2F3%29-2%283%29=m%2826%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8%28%2812m%29%2F3%29-2%283%29=highlight%2826m%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
