Answer:

[tex]7x+2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright. First, we have to remember that anything, even a minus sign, directly outside of a term in parentheses means that the term is being multiplied by that number or sign outside of it. A minus sign simply means -1.

I'm going to show you one method. There might be another one, but this method will be useful later in algebra.

So, we've established that a minus sign is actually -1. Now, let's rewrite the equation.

[tex](8x+6)-1(x+4)[/tex]

We'll simplify this now by removing the parentheses and distributing that -1.

[tex]8x+6-x-4[/tex]

Rearrange.

[tex]8x-x+6-4[/tex]

Combine like terms.

[tex]7x+2[/tex]

So,  [tex](8x+6)-(x+4)[/tex] equals [tex]7x+2[/tex].
