Answer 6

I'm sorry but both 11m+ 11 and 11m + 12 are incorrect.

One should follow BODMAS ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations) when solving such equations.

BODMAS suggests that one should solve BRACKET first.

so:

5 + 6(m+ 1)
=> 5 + 6m + 6 (solving the bracket)
=> 11 +6m

Answer 7

and u r correct. cant believe that slipped out of my head.
have to fallow PAMDAS.
