First, simplify the expression inside the parenthesis:
#6-(8+27) - 4#

#6 - 35 - 4#

Subtract from left to right:
#-29 - 4#

#=-33#

Hope this helps!

In any expression, we simplify the parenthesis first. Doing this, we get

#6-35-4#

Now, let's work left to right:

#6-35=-29#

#-29-4=-33#

Hope this helps!
