Since both terms in the expression have an m in common factor the m out.
8%28%2812m%29%2F3%29-2%283%29=m%288%2812%2F3%29-2%283%29%29
Now simplify.
8%28%2812m%29%2F3%29-2%283%29=m%288%284%29-6%29
8%28%2812m%29%2F3%29-2%283%29=m%2832-6%29
8%28%2812m%29%2F3%29-2%283%29=m%2826%29
8%28%2812m%29%2F3%29-2%283%29=highlight%2826m%29
