How does (54 + m) + 0.20(54 + m) becomes 1.2(54 + m)? Where is this covered in the guides?

As ex. xm+2xm= 3xm...teh addition rule needs to be applied here

(54 + m) [ 1 + 0.20 ] => Factor the common (54 + m)
=(54 + m) [1.2]
= 1.2(54 + m)

I think this can be more clearly seen if we let x = 54 + m:

(54 + m) + 0.20(54 + m)
x + 0.20x
1.20x
1.20(54 + m)

Hope that helps.
