Answer: 9x+4

Step-by-step explanation: We take out the parentheses by multiplying both values by 2 (2 times x and 2 times 3) to get 2x-6. Now our equation is 9x+2x-6-2x+10. We can see that there is a +2x and a -2x so we just take both of them out as they cancel out each other. Now our equation is 9x -6+10. we add 10 to -6 to get +4. The result is 9x+4.
