Answer:
12m + 36 or 6 (2m + 6 )
Step-by-step explanation:
12( 3 + m )
Apply distributive property...
(12 · 3) + (12 · m)
36 + 12m
Get it in order...
12m + 36
Another possibility...
Take 6 out of both numbers:
(12m ÷ 6) + (36 ÷ 6)
6 ( 2m + 6)
When you multiply 6 by 2m and 6 by 6, you'll get 12m + 36
