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#
