The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the expression given for \( g(m) \) and simplify it to determine what it is perfectly divisible by. ### Step 1: Write down the expression for \( g(m) \). The expression given is: \[ g(m) = 24m - 2m(7m + 1) \] ### Step 2: Distribute the \( -2m \) in the expression. We can distribute \( -2m \) across the terms inside the parentheses: \[ g(m) = 24m - 2m \cdot 7m - 2m \cdot 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ g(m) = 24m - 14m^2 - 2m \] ### Step 3: Combine like terms. Now, we combine the like terms \( 24m \) and \( -2m \): \[ g(m) = (24m - 2m) - 14m^2 \] This results in: \[ g(m) = 22m - 14m^2 \] ### Step 4: Factor out common terms. Next, we can factor out the common term from the expression: \[ g(m) = 2m(11 - 7m) \] ### Step 5: Analyze the factors. The expression \( g(m) = 2m(11 - 7m) \) shows that \( g(m) \) is divisible by \( 2m \). Since \( m \) is a positive integer, \( 2m \) is always a positive integer. ### Conclusion: Thus, for any positive integer \( m \), \( g(m) \) is perfectly divisible by \( 2m \).
