Step 1 :

After factoring out $ 5m $ we have:

$$ 5m^{3}+30m^{2}-35m = 5m ( m^{2}+6m-7 ) $$

Step 2 :

Step 2: Identify constants $ \color{blue}{ b }$ and $\color{red}{ c }$. ( $ \color{blue}{ b }$ is a number in front of the $ x $ term and $ \color{red}{ c } $ is a constant). In our case:

$$ \color{blue}{ b = 6 } ~ \text{ and } ~ \color{red}{ c = -7 }$$

Now we must discover two numbers that sum up to $ \color{blue}{ 6 } $ and multiply to $ \color{red}{ -7 } $.

Step 3: Find out pairs of numbers with a product of $\color{red}{ c = -7 }$.

PRODUCT = -7
-1     7	1     -7

Step 4: Find out which pair sums up to $\color{blue}{ b = 6 }$

PRODUCT = -7 and SUM = 6
-1     7	1     -7

Step 5: Put -1 and 7 into placeholders to get factored form.

$$ \begin{aligned} m^{2}+6m-7 & = (x + \color{orangered}{\square} )(x + \color{orangered}{\square}) \\ m^{2}+6m-7 & = (x -1)(x + 7) \end{aligned} $$
