Let's simplify the expression step by step:
The original expression is: \[ -( -9q + 3r ) + 6r - 2( -4r + 9q ) \]
-
Distribute the negative sign: \[ 9q - 3r + 6r - 2( -4r + 9q ) \]
-
Distribute the -2: \[ 9q - 3r + 6r + 8r - 18q \]
-
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: \[ 11r - 9q \]
