    1. in the distributive - 3 (2m - 5), one forget to use the positive sign instead of the negative sign.

    2. the answer should be - 2m + 24

    final answer should be - 2m + 24

    (4m + 9) - 3 (2m - 5) → (distributing gives)

    4m + 9 - 6m + 15 → (error in original has - 15)

    (4m - 6m) + (9 + 15) = - 2m + 24
