How do u simplify this? 4r-3+6s-8r-(4s-6)

Hey there!:

4r -3 + 6s - 8r - (4s - 6)

*distribute parentheses :

=  - ( 4s ) - ( - 6 ) 

Apply minus  - plus rules

- ( - a )  = a  ;  - ( a ) = - a

 =  - 4s + 6

4r -3+ 6 s - 8r -4s + 6 = 

Group like terms :

=4r - 8r + 6s - 4s -3+6

Add similar elements: 4r - 8r= - 4r

-4r + 6s - 4s- 3+6

6s - 4s =  2s

-4r  + 2s  - 3 + 6

Add/Subtract the numbers :

-3 + 6  = 3

Therefore:

= 2s +3 - 4r

hope this helps!
