Well.... If you are thinking about factorization.... you can't...
But you can solve it
Re-meme-ber
+-a(+-b+-c)+-d(+-e+-f)=(+-a xx+-b)+-(a xx+-c)+-(d xx+-e)+-(d xx+-f)
So....
-3(7m-6)+5(-3m-3)=(-3xx7m)-(3 xx(-6))+(5xx(-3m))+(5xx(-3))
Which is....
-21m-(-18)+(-15m)+(-15)
And...
(-)xx(-)=(+)
(+)xx(-)=(-)
Which gives us
-21m+18-15m-15
Regroup
-21m-15m+18-15
Solve
-36m+3
