Explanation:
Combine like terms (remember if you are close enough to share a germ your a term.) The 6 and the -4 are like terms because they are both constants (they don't have a variable) so they can be squished (or combined.)
When you combine a positive and negative number you subtract. And you use the sign of the larger number. Since 6 is bigger then 4, your answer is going to be positive.
There are no other x's so
Put the two terms together
DONE!
