= Solution

Separate even and odd indices, using $\omega_{2m}^{2}=\omega_m$. Then
$$
\boxed{x_\ell=x_\ell^{(E)}+\omega_{2m}^{\ell}x_\ell^{(O)},\qquad
x_{\ell+m}=x_\ell^{(E)}-\omega_{2m}^{\ell}x_\ell^{(O)}}\quad(0\leq\ell<m).
$$
The second identity uses $\omega_{2m}^m=-1$. Each <FFT butterfly> uses one shared twiddle-factor product and two additions, so assembly costs $m$ multiplications and $2m$ additions.
