See a solution process below:

Multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

$8 (m + 4) \Rightarrow (8 \times m) + (8 \times 4) \Rightarrow$ $color(red)(8)(m + 4) => (color(red)(8) xx m) + (color(red)(8) xx 4) =>$

$8 m + 32$ $8m + 32$

How do you use the distributive property to simplify 8(m+4)8(m+4)?
