| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( x^2+4x-39 \right) = -x^2-4x+39 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{9x^2} \color{red}{-6x} + \color{green}{2} \color{blue}{-x^2} \color{red}{-4x} + \color{green}{39} = \color{blue}{8x^2} \color{red}{-10x} + \color{green}{41} $$ |
