Given: 

-2(3m -4)

Determine the expression, after distributing the number.

Solution:

= -2(3m -4)

= -6m + 4

Notice that 4 became positive, since if we multiply two numbers with the same sign, the answer will be positive, hence if we multiply numbers with different sign, the answer will be negative.

The expression, after distributing is -6m + 4
