To subtract \((2y + 6)\) from \((6y + 1)\), first distribute the negative sign through the second expression: \[ (6y + 1) - (2y + 6) = (6y + 1) - 2y - 6 \] Now, combine the like terms: - For the \(y\) terms: \(6y - 2y = 4y\) - For the constant terms: \(1 - 6 = -5\) Putting it all together, we get: \[ 4y - 5 \] So, \((6y + 1) - (2y + 6) = 4y - 5\).
