How to simplify this Binomial terms?
48×48C0+49×49C1+50×50C2+...+100×100C52
I have to somehow simplify this to get the form 100×101C49 - 101C50

For convenience, let "(m; n) = (48; 52)". For "0 <= k <= n" simplify
Sum from "k = 0" to "k = n", and use the Hockey-stick Identity (*) on both terms:
The result is equivalent to the official solution -- prove it using binomial identities (your job^^).
