To simplify the expression \((6b + 4r) - (2b + r)\), follow these steps:
1. Distribute the subtraction across the terms in the parentheses:
\[
(6b + 4r) - (2b + r) = 6b + 4r - 2b - r
\]
2. Combine like terms:
- Combine the \(b\) terms: \(6b - 2b = 4b\)
- Combine the \(r\) terms: \(4r - r = 3r\)
Putting it all together, the simplified expression is:
\[
4b + 3r
\]
