Apologies for the mistake. Let's start again.

−3(−13+m) + 11

Apply the distributive property by multiplying -3 with each term inside the parentheses:

= (-3 * -13) + (-3 * m) + 11

= 39 + (-3m) + 11

Add the constant terms together:

= 39 + 11 + (-3m)

= 50 + (-3m)

Rearrange the terms:

= -3m + 50

Therefore, -3(-13 + m) + 11 is equivalent to -3m + 50.

Apologies for misunderstanding your request. Let's continue with the solution.

−3(−13+m) + 11

To simplify this expression, we need to distribute the -3 to both terms inside the parentheses:

= -3 * -13 + -3 * m + 11

= 39 - 3m + 11

Combine like terms:

= 50 - 3m

Therefore, −3(−13+m) + 11 is equivalent to -3m + 50.
