1. **State the problem:** Evaluate $$\frac{3}{2}-\sqrt{3} - \left(\frac{2}{3}+\sqrt{3}\right)$$ without using a calculator and express the answer in the form $$m+n\sqrt{3}$$.
2. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$\frac{3}{2} - \sqrt{3} - \frac{2}{3} - \sqrt{3}$$
3. **Group like terms:**
$$\left(\frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{3}\right) + \left(-\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{3}\right)$$
4. **Find common denominator and simplify the rational part:**
$$\frac{3}{2} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3 \times 3}{2 \times 3} - \frac{2 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{9}{6} - \frac{4}{6} = \frac{9 - 4}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$$
5. **Simplify the irrational part:**
$$-\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{3} = -2\sqrt{3}$$
6. **Combine the simplified parts:**
$$\frac{5}{6} - 2\sqrt{3}$$
**Final answer:** $$\frac{5}{6} - 2\sqrt{3}$$ where $$m=\frac{5}{6}$$ and $$n=-2$$.
