Question: 1 / 400

What is the simplified value of the expression -2[(-3 - 2) - 2(-2 + m)] when m = 1?

-20

To find the simplified value of the expression $-2[(-3 - 2) - 2(-2 + m)]$ when $m = 1$, we will substitute $m$ with 1 and simplify step by step.

First, substitute $m$ in the expression:

-2[(-3 - 2) - 2(-2 + 1)]

Now, simplify the expression inside the brackets step by step:

1. Calculate $-3 - 2$:

-3 - 2 = -5

2. Calculate $-2 + 1$:

-2 + 1 = -1

3. Now calculate $2(-1)$:

2(-1) = -2

Now, substitute these values back into the expression:

-2[(-5) - (-2)]

Now, simplify the expression inside the brackets:

1. Calculate $-5 - (-2)$:

-5 + 2 = -3

Now we have:

-2[-3]

-30
