Answer: -22

Concept:

Here, we need to understand the idea of evaluation.

When encountering questions that gave you an expression with variables, then stated: "If x = a, y = b, z = c" (a, b, c are all constants), this means you should substitute the value given for each variable back to the expression.

Solve:

Given information

m = 1

n = -3 (2) = -6

Given expression

2m - 4n (3m - 4)

Substitute values into the expression

=2(1) - 4(-6) (3(1) - 4)

Simplify by multiplication

=2 + 24 (3 - 4)

Simplify values in the parentheses

=2 + 24 (-1)

Simplify by multiplication

=2 - 24

Simplify by subtraction

=
\boxed{-22}

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
