The result is 60m+60.

Explanation:

Use the distributive property, which looks like this:

color(red)a(color(blue)x+color(green)y)=color(red)a*color(blue)x+color(red)a*color(green)y

Now, use this in our problem (I'll color-code each term to it's easier to see):

color(white)=6(10m+10)

=color(red)6(color(blue)(10m)+color(green)10)

=color(red)6*color(blue)(10m)+color(red)6*color(green)10

=color(red)6*color(blue)(10m)+color(brown)60

=color(purple)(60m)+color(brown)60

That's the answer. Hope this helped!
