| ① | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{2x^2} +4x \color{blue}{-6x^2} = \color{blue}{-4x^2} +4x $$ |
| ② | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 6x+3 \right) = -6x-3 $$ |
| ③ | Combine like terms: $$ -4x^2+ \color{blue}{4x} + \color{red}{9} \color{blue}{-6x} \color{red}{-3} = -4x^2 \color{blue}{-2x} + \color{red}{6} $$ |
