Attempt 2 out of 3

Answer 3

To perform the operation, we need to combine like terms:

Starting with the terms inside the first bracket:

-4x^2 + 4x

And the terms inside the second bracket:

-6x^2 - 8

Now we can add them together:

(-4x^2 + 4x) + (-6x^2 - 8)

Combining like terms:

-4x^2 - 6x^2 + 4x - 8

Adding the x^2 terms:

-10x^2 + 4x - 8

So the final answer is -10x^2 + 4x - 8.
