You have two expressions

(-6x-2)

and

(x+4)

You have to subtract the second expression from the first one so that:


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

The minus sign in front of the second equation can be considered as a -1, so you can solve the parenthesis as:


\begin{gathered} (-6x-2)-1(x+4) \\ (-6x-2)-1\cdot x-1\cdot4 \\ -6x-2-x-4 \end{gathered}

Next you have to perform the corresponding operations:


\begin{gathered} -6x-x-2-4 \\ -7x-6 \end{gathered}
