(-2a+6b-c)++minus++(-3b+6c-6d)
You have to make the minus sign(-) positive(+) between 2 blocks while dealing with two separate blocks in brackets.You have to multiply the signs of the terms inside the second block +%28-3b%2B6c-6d%29 with (-) so every single term's sign will change to opposite sign such +%28%2B3b-6c%2B6d%29
as (-)*(-) = (+) and (-)*(+) = (-) and (+)*(+) = (+)
Now the total expression looks like now:
+%28-2a%2B6b-c%29+%2B+%28%2B3b-6c%2B6d%29
Now you can remove brackets because you made the minus sign plus between blocks.
+-2a%2B6b-c+%2B+3b-6c%2B6d+
Sum them up;
+-2a+%2B+9b+-+7c+%2B+6d+
