6%28y%2B2%29-4%2B%28-10%29
We'll first solve what's in parentheses. We can apply the distributive property on 6(y+2) to get 6*y+6*2, or 6y + 12.

For the -10, we just determine if we need to change signs or not; since the sign before the parentheses is positive, nothing is done and it continues as -10.
6y+%2B+12+-+4+-+10
6y+%2B+8+-+10
6y+-+2
