Next step is to combine the x terms.

the 8 supposed to be a 6... sorry

Answer 7

-2x-(6-3x)+4
Distribute the negative.
-2x-6+2x+4
(remember, the double negative of the three plus the negative you're distributing makes it a positive!)
-2x-6+2x+4
Just start adding together.
The -2x and +2x cancel out.
-6 + 4 comes out to -2

your answer is negative two.
