(


2v–9)–(4v–2)

To simplify the expression -(2v-9) - (4v-2), we need to distribute the negative sign to both terms inside the parentheses. This means we need to change the signs of each term:

-(2v-9) - (4v-2) = -2v + 9 - 4v + 2

Next, we can combine like terms by adding or subtracting coefficients:

-2v + 9 - 4v + 2 = (-2v - 4v) + (9 + 2) = -6v + 11

So the simplified expression is -6v + 11.
