2(m+w)=2m+2w
Step 1
Step 1.1
Rewrite.
0+0+2(m+w)=2m+2w
Step 1.2
Simplify by adding zeros.
2(m+w)=2m+2w
Step 1.3
Apply the distributive property.
2m+2w=2m+2w
2m+2w=2m+2w
Step 2
Step 2.1
Subtract 2m from both sides of the equation.
2m+2w−2m=2w
Step 2.2
Combine the opposite terms in 2m+2w−2m.
Step 2.2.1
