Answer:

2k + 5

Explanation:

Since this is a subtraction problem, you need to change it to an addition problem. When you do this, you also need to change the sign of each term in the second set of parentheses.

(-4k - 1) - (-6k - 6)

(-4k - 1) + (6k + 6)

Remove the parentheses and add like terms.

-4k - 1 + 6k + 6

2k +5
