Let's just factor 21m - 18n  .....the common factor is 3...so we have......

3(7m - 6n)

Use the distributive law:

3(7m - 6n)  =  3(7m) - 3(6n)  =                                <--- finish this

2(6m - 9n)  =  2(6m) - 2(9n)  =                               <--- finish this

3(7m - 4n)  =  3(7m) - 3(4n)  =                                <--- finish this

12(2m - n)  =  12(2m) - 12(n)  =                               <--- finish this

Can you finish these?
