Math Problem Statement

(m-2n)(m+1)-3m(m-2n)

Solution

Let's simplify the given expression step by step:

Given expression:
(m2n)(m+1)3m(m2n)(m - 2n)(m + 1) - 3m(m - 2n)

  1. Expand the first term (m2n)(m+1)(m - 2n)(m + 1): (m2n)(m+1)=m(m+1)2n(m+1)(m - 2n)(m + 1) = m(m + 1) - 2n(m + 1) =m2+m2nm2n= m^2 + m - 2nm - 2n So, (m2n)(m+1)=m2+m2nm2n(m - 2n)(m + 1) = m^2 + m - 2nm - 2n.

  2. Expand the second term 3m(m2n)-3m(m - 2n): 3m(m2n)=3m2+6mn-3m(m - 2n) = -3m^2 + 6mn

  3. Combine all the terms: (m2+m2nm2n)(3m26mn)(m^2 + m - 2nm - 2n) - (3m^2 - 6mn) Distribute the negative sign: =m2+m2nm2n3m2+6mn= m^2 + m - 2nm - 2n - 3m^2 + 6mn

  4. Combine like terms: =(m23m2)+(m+6mn2nm)2n= (m^2 - 3m^2) + (m + 6mn - 2nm) - 2n =2m2+(m+4mn)2n= -2m^2 + (m + 4mn) - 2n

So, the simplified expression is:
2m2+m+4mn2n-2m^2 + m + 4mn - 2n
