Rewrite in simplest terms: minus, 5, left parenthesis, 6, m, plus, 3, right parenthesis, minus, 7, left parenthesis, minus, 7, m, plus, 7, right parenthesis−5(6m+3)−7(−7m+7)

1 answer

Let's simplify the expression step by step:

  1. Distribute the constants:

    • For the first term: \(-5(6m + 3) = -30m - 15\)
    • For the second term: \(-7(-7m + 7) = 49m - 49\)
  2. Now, combine the results: \(-30m - 15 + 49m - 49\)

  3. Combine like terms:

    • For the \(m\) terms: \(-30m + 49m = 19m\)
    • For the constants: \(-15 - 49 = -64\)

Putting it all together, the expression simplifies to:

\(19m - 64\)
