Let's simplify the expression step by step:
The original expression is:
\[
-( -9q + 3r ) + 6r - 2( -4r + 9q )
\]
1. Distribute the negative sign:
\[
9q - 3r + 6r - 2( -4r + 9q )
\]
2. Distribute the -2:
\[
9q - 3r + 6r + 8r - 18q
\]
3. Now combine like terms:
- For \(q\): \(9q - 18q = -9q\)
- For \(r\): \(-3r + 6r + 8r = 11r\)
Putting it all together, we get:
\[
-9q + 11r
\]
So, the simplified expression is:
\[
11r - 9q
\]
