In other words, treat the two Americans and the three Indians as being single persons. Once you know how many ways you can line up those "4 people", think about how many new ways you could get by interchanging the Americans only or interchanging the Indians only.

The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
