Not sure what the problem is:

Explanation:

You can rewrite the expression as:

#(-8m - 24)/(m + 2)#

You can then factor the numerator as:

#((-8 xx m) + (-8 xx 3))/(m + 2)#

#(-8(m + 3))/(m + 2)#

Other than that there is not much else you can do to this expression without knowing more about what you want done.
