Simplify the expression:

(3 - 7m) + 2(3.5m + 1)

Alright, let's distribute first 2(3.5m +1)
to do this, multiply 2 into what's in the parentheses, so 2 x 3.5m is 7m and 2x 1 is 2
So: 2(3.5m+1) -> 7m+2
Now, we have 3-7m+7m+2
The rest is easy now! :) We just combine like terms, let's do variables first:
-7m+7m gives you 0 since they cancel each other out.
now the remaining numbers are :
3+2, which gives you 5.
So, (3-7m)+2(3.5+1) is 5! :D
I hope everything made sense, please ask for any clarifications! :DD

(3 - 7m) + 2 (3.5m + 1) * :First, distribute*
**(3 - 7m) + 7m + 2 ** :Then, combine like terms (The -7m and the +7m cancel out)
5
Your final answer is:
5

The simplified expression is 5. To get this, distribute the 2 into the parentheses and then combine like terms. The variable terms cancel each other out, leaving only a constant value of 5.
