So take 6 - (-9) and make it

Or another way to do it.
When removing parentheses, if the sign before the parenthesis is + you leave the signs inside the parentheses as they are.
If the sign in front of the parenthesis is - you change all of the signs inside to the opposite. For example:
6 - (-9 + 15 + 6) = 6 + 9 - 15 - 6 = ?
6 + (-9 + 15 + 6) = 6 - 9 + 15 + 6 = ?
