To simplify this, we first need to distribute the negative sign to the (x+6). It's easier to see if we rewrite the negative as -1:
[tex]2x+(-1)(x+6)=2x+(-1)*x+(-1)*6=2x-x-6[/tex]
Now combine like terms:
[tex]2x-x-6=x-6[/tex]
[tex]2x+(-1)(x+6)=2x+(-1)*x+(-1)*6=2x-x-6[/tex]
Now combine like terms:
[tex]2x-x-6=x-6[/tex]
2x - (x + 6)
The first step is to multiply every term inside the parentheses by -1.
2x - x - 6
Now combine like terms.
x - 6
Done.
