See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

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

5x4+6x398x26x7

Next, group like terms:

5x4+6x38x26x97

Now, combine like terms:

5x4+6x38x26x16

5x4+6x38x2+6x16

Explanation:

5x4 is alone, so it is just that. 6x3 is also alone, so nothing to change. 8x2 is also alone, so it is 8x2. then it is something minus negative 6x then 97=16.
