what's your idea?

this is just a matter of combining like terms...and when your adding them, parenthesis are not needed...however, if subtracting it would be different.

6x - 5y + 3x + 3y - 2
combine like terms
6x + 3x = 9x
-5y + 3y = -2y
and the -2 has no like terms
so we are left with : 9x - 2y - 2
