    It multiplies the m and 2 by the 2, giving the 2 to the 2 numbers in the parentheses, turning 2 (m+2) into 2*m and 2*2, getting 2m+4=22, and to get m, you first take away the 4 by subtracting 4 from both sides, then dividing 18 and 2m by 2 to get m=18

    m = 9

    It means that you are multiplying each of the values inside the parentheses by 2.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2 (m + 2) = 22

    2m + 4 = 22

    2m + 4 - 4 = 22 - 4

    2m = 18 - Divide both sides by 2

    m = 9
