Answer:

2x + 15

Explanation:

When you subtract an expression from another expression, it will be on the right side of the subtraction sign.

(4x + 9) - (2x - 6)

First, let's distribute the negative sign.

(4x + 9) - 2x + 6

Now combine like terms.

4x - 2x + 9 + 6

2x + 15

This is the fully simplified expression.

Hope this helps!
