To simplify the expression \((834 + 312m) - (814 + 214m)\), follow these steps:
-
Distribute the negative sign through the second parentheses: \[ (834 + 312m) - 814 - 214m \]
-
Combine like terms:
- For the constant terms: \[ 834 - 814 = 20 \]
- For the terms involving \(m\): \[ 312m - 214m = 98m \]
-
Combine the results: \[ 20 + 98m \]
Thus, the expression \((834 + 312m) - (814 + 214m)\) simplifies to:
\[ 20 + 98m \]
Therefore, any expressions equivalent to \(20 + 98m\) would be correct. Some equivalent forms might be:
- \(98m + 20\) (rearranging the order of terms)
- \((98m + 20)\)
