We are given the following polynomials:


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

Now, we subtract the second polynomial from the first:


2x-6-(7x^2+6x+4)

Now, apply the distributive property on the parenthesis. To do that we change the sign of each of the terms inside:


2x-6-7x^2-6x-4

Now, we associate like terms.:


(2x-6x)+(-6-4)-7x^2

Now, we solve the operations of the like terms:


-4x-10-7x^2

Since we can't simplify any further this is the final answer.
