Substitute[ <expression>, <from>, <to> ]

Example:
Substitute[(3 m - 3)^2 - (m + 3)^2, m, a] yields 8 a2 - 24 a.
Substitute[ <Expression>, <Substitution List> ]
Substitutes in expression every variable of the list with the variable or number you choose for it.
Example:
Substitute[2x+3y-z,{x=a,y=2,z=b}] returns 2a - b + 6.
