To simplify the expression (6b
3 + 6 − b
4) − (−8b
3 − 6b
4 + 2), we can perform the subtraction inside the parentheses by distributing the negative sign:
(6b3 + 6 − b4) − (−8b3 − 6b4 + 2) = 6b
3 + 6 − b
4 + 8b
3 + 6b
4 - 2
Next, we can combine like terms by adding or subtracting coefficients of the same variable:
= (6
b3 + 8
b3) + (6 - 2) + (-
b4 + 6
