To simplify the expression \((9x^2 - 6x + 2) - (x^2 + 4x - 39)\), we first distribute the negative sign across the second polynomial:

\[
(9x^2 - 6x + 2) - (x^2 + 4x - 39) = 9x^2 - 6x + 2 - x^2 - 4x + 39
\]

Next, we combine like terms:

1. Combine the \(x^2\) terms:
\[
9x^2 - x^2 = 8x^2
\]

2. Combine the \(x\) terms:
\[
-6x - 4x = -10x
\]

3. Combine the constant terms:
\[
2 + 39 = 41
\]

Now we can put it all together:

\[
8x^2 - 10x + 41
\]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[
\boxed{8x^2 - 10x + 41}
\]
