Answer:

-(-4)(-6)*3/5(10+15)

when there is a (-) in front of an expression in parentheses, change the sing of each term in the expression.

4*(-6)*3/5*(10+15)

Add the numbers (10+15)

4(-6)*3/5*25

multiplying an odd number of negative terms makes the product negative

-4*6*3/5*25

reduce the number with the greatest common factor 5

-4*6*3*5

calculate the product

solution

-360
