    I will solve a similar question for you

    4b - 9a - (-7a + 6b)

    First we rewrite the minus sign before the brackets

    4b - 9a + (-1(-7a + 6b))

    Now we expand out the innermost brackets

    4b - 9a + (7a - 6b)

    Now we can eliminate the other brackets

    4b - 9a + 7a - 6b

    Grouping like terms:

    (4b - 6b) + (7a -9a)

    And now we solve the terms in brackets:

    -2b + (-2a)

    And expand

    -2b - 2a

    Now you have a go at yours and let me know what answer you get.
