See a solution process below:

First, remove all of the terms from parenthesis. Be careful to handle the signs of each individual term correctly:

#5m + 5 + 2m^2 + m + 5#

Next, group like terms:

#2m^2 + 5m + m + 5 + 5#

Now, combine like terms:

#2m^2 + 5m + 1m + 5 + 5#

#2m^2 + (5 + 1)m + (5 + 5)#

#2m^2 + 6m + 10#
