Simplifying
(m + 8)(2m + -1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(8 + m)(2m + -1) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(8 + m)(-1 + 2m) = 0

Multiply (8 + m) * (-1 + 2m)
(8(-1 + 2m) + m(-1 + 2m)) = 0
((-1 * 8 + 2m * 8) + m(-1 + 2m)) = 0
((-8 + 16m) + m(-1 + 2m)) = 0
(-8 + 16m + (-1 * m + 2m * m)) = 0
(-8 + 16m + (-1m + 2m2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 16m + -1m = 15m
