3m3n

Explanation:

You start by getting rid of the brackets inside the other brackets

2m(nm+2n)

The + became a because there was another in front. Now you remove the other bracket

2mn+m2n

3m3n

and if you like you can write this as a common factor

3(mn)

The main thing is to understand that the signs alter as shown before.
