EXPAND and simplify: 4(2m-3) + 8(3-m)
To expand and simplify the given expression, we distribute the numbers outside the parentheses to the terms inside the parentheses:
4(2m-3) + 8(3-m) = 8m - 12 + 24 - 8m
Combining like terms, we have 8m - 8m - 12 + 24, which simplifies to:
= -12 + 24
Finally, adding -12 and 24 together gives us:
= 12.
