I'm having a blonde moment and forgot what to do when you're adding variables. Do you square them or what? The actual problem consists of 5m+5m . What would that equal?

Think of it this way: Say m = 1 cookie.
5 cookies + 5 cookies = 10 cookies
5m + 5m = 10m
5 cookies + 5 cookies = 10 cookies
5m + 5m = 10m
-
5m + 5m = 10m
(m + m + m + m + m) + (m + m + m + m + m) = 10 of the letter m
sometimes, it helps to picture what the equation is asking for
(m + m + m + m + m) + (m + m + m + m + m) = 10 of the letter m

is m a variable or the abbreviation of meters
