a is only to the 2nd power. m is just another factor being multiplied by 3a^2. m is NOT an exponent
4m(3a^2m)
= 12 a^2 m^2
:o)
4m(3a²m) = 4m x 3a²m = 12a²m²
you multiply the numbers (4x3=12), then the same letters ( m in this case, and m x m = m²), and then rearrange the letters alphabetically ( so it wouldn't be m²a², but rather a²m²)
(3a^2 m) stays the same without the ( ) so the you combine like terms and it turns into 5m * 3a^2 and that is the answer
so it 4 multiplies by m and that its multiplied by a to the second power + 3 multiplied by m
8m(a^2)
