See the entire solution process below:

First, remove all of the terms from parenthesis. Be careful to handle the signs of each individual term correctly:

#6 - 7n - 4n^4 - 5 - 6n^2 - 2n^4#

Next, group like terms:

#-4n^4 - 2n^4 - 6n^2 - 7n + 6 - 5#

Now, combine like terms:

#(-4 - 2)n^4 - 6n^2 - 7n + (6 - 5)#

#-6n^4 - 6n^2 - 7n + 1#
