$9 m - 18$ $9m-18$

Explanation:

$multiply each of the terms in the bracket by 9$ $"multiply each of the terms in the bracket by 9"$

$\Rightarrow 9 (m - 2)$ $rArrcolor(red)(9)(m-2)$

$= (9 \times m) + (9 \times - 2) \leftarrow distributive property$ $=(color(red)(9)xxm)+(color(red)(9)xx-2)larrcolor(blue)" distributive property"$

$= 9 m + (- 18)$ $=9m+(-18)$

$= 9 m - 18$ $=9m-18$
