Please help me solve this

9

Step-by-step explanation:

2(m+2) = 22

Using the distributive property, you can multiply the 2 to both the "m" term and the "2".

2m + 2*2 = 22

2m + 4 = 22

Then you isolate the variable and solve.

2m = 22 - 4

2m = 18

m = 9

2(m + 2) = 22

2(m) + 2(2) = 22

2m + 4 = 22

2m = 22 - 4

2m = 18

2m / 2 = 18 / 2

m = 9

To distribute the 2 to each term inside the parentheses means to multiply the 2 by both terms in the parentheses so

2(m + 2) means (2 × m) + (2 × 4)

it is b)

hope this : )
