#-12#

When #m=-15# and #n=-18#,

#4(2m-n)-3(2m-n)#

#=4[2(-15)-(-18)]-3[2(-15)-(-18)]#

#=4(-30+18)-3(-30+18)#

#=4(-12)-3(-12)#

#=-48+36#

#=-12#

Note: To work things out faster, we can also furthur factorize this question as follows:

#4(2m-n)-3(2m-n)#

#=(4-3)(2m-n)#

#=2m-n#

#=2(-15)-(-18)#

#=-30+18#

#=-12#
