#=2a^2m^3 +a^2m^2 + (am^3)/b^2#

Explanation:

#am^2(2am + a + m/b^2)#

Distribute the #am^2# to each term in the parentheses (Remember when you multiply two terms with the same base, you add the exponents: #a^1 * a^2 = a^3# for example)

#am^2*2am + am^2*a + am^2*m/b^2#

#=2a^2m^3 +a^2m^2 + (am^3)/b^2#
