Answer:


(8)/(21)m^2+(2)/(15)m

Explanation:

Given expression:


-(2)/(3)m\left(-(4)/(7)m-(1)/(5)\right)

Apply the distributive law a(b - c) = ab - ac :


\implies \left(-(2)/(3)m\right)\cdot \left(-(4)/(7)m\right)-\left(-(2)/(3)m\right)\cdot \left((1)/(5)\right)

Apply the rule -(-a) = a :


\implies (2)/(3)m\cdot(4)/(7)m+(2)/(3)m\cdot (1)/(5)


\implies (2)/(3)\cdot(4)/(7) \cdot m \cdot m+(2)/(3)\cdot (1)/(5)\cdot m


\textsf{Apply the fraction rule} \quad (a)/(c)\cdot(b)/(d)=(ab)/(cd):


\implies (2\cdot 4)/(3\cdot 7) \cdot m \cdot m+(2\cdot 1)/(3\cdot 5) \cdot m

Simplify:


\implies (8)/(21)m^2+(2)/(15)m
