$- 2 (3 m^{- 1} n)$

Step 1

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$- 2 (3 \frac{1}{m} n)$

Step 2

Combine $3$ and $\frac{1}{m}$ .

$- 2 (\frac{3}{m} n)$

Step 3

Combine $\frac{3}{m}$ and $n$ .

$- 2 \frac{3 n}{m}$

Step 4

Multiply $- 2 \frac{3 n}{m}$ .
