Solution: 
First, expand the curly braces.
2m-[n-m+2n] 
2m-[3n-m] 
Expand the square brackets after that.
2m-3n+m 
3m-3n

Solution: 
Remove the brackets inside of the other brackets first.
2m-(n-m+2n) 
The + became a - because there was another - in front. You now take out the second bracket. 
2m-n+m-2n 
3m-3n 
and you can include this as a common factor if you'd like.
3(m-n)
