#color(red)(2-9[4-(3y-6)]#

Based on PEMDAS, we solve the Parenteses first

#2-9*[4 - 3y + 6]#

#2-9*[10 - 3y]#

Then we perform the Multiplication using the Distributive Property

#2-[9*10 - 9*3y]#

#2-[90 - 27y]#

#2 - 90 + 27y#

#color(green)(-88 + 27y# is the simplified form of #color(red)(2-9[4-(3y-6)]#
