See a solution process below:

Explanation:

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

#2f^3 + 4 + 6f - 4#

Next, group like terms:

#2f^3 + 6f + 4 - 4#

Now, combine like terms:

#2f^3 + 6f + (4 - 4)#

#2f^3 + 6f + 0#

#2f^3 + 6f#
