Answer: i believe its -3x+9

Explanation:

it is important to recognize that the minus sign in front of −(x−3) applies to both x and −3.

remove the parentheses by distributing the minus sign to the terms inside them: −2x+6−(x−3)

⇒−2x+6−x−(−3)

⇒−2x+6−x+3

combine similar terms: ⇒(−2x−x)+(6+3)

⇒−3x+9
