  • @superstartpolarbear - You need to use the distributive property first to remove the parentheses. Multiply -3 by 2m to get -6m, and -3 by 6 to get -18. Then you wil have 7m-6m-18+12, then you can combine like terms to simplify. Good luck!

  • @nodoubtitsmelissa - When you combine like terms using addition or subtraction, it is similar to saying "What is 5 apples plus 8 apples?" The answer is 13 apples, not 13 apples "squared." Only when we multply terms together do we add the exponents. For example, 3x times 3x is 9x squared.
