To expand and then simplify the expression:

[tex]3(m+2)-6(2m+4)[/tex]

We can follow the next steps:

1. Apply the distributive property:

[tex]3m+3\cdot2-12m-6\cdot4=3m+6-12m-24[/tex]

Then, we need to algebraically sum the like terms:

[tex]3m-12m+6-24=-9m-18[/tex]

Then, the equivalent expression for that given in the question is -9m - 18. It could be also -9(m+2) (using -9 as a common factor).
