I´m new, so I´m sorry if the question is so easy, I really think that
is easy, but I don´t know how to do it.

I have this:

b=n-m

a=x-b

Y=3a + 4a^2

and the program show me this:
3(x-n+m) + 4(x-n+m)^2

or, something like that, the problem is that I want the program show
me Y in function of b, or sometimes in function of a, something like
this:

Y=3(x-b) + 4(x-b)^2

or

Y=3a + 4a^2

Thanks.
