Answer

$-15y^{2}+6y-4$

Work Step by Step

$(-6y^{2}+3y-4)-(9y^{2}-3y)$ First, remove the grouping symbols. To remove the second parentheses, change the sign of every term inside it: $(-6y^{2}+3y-4)-(9y^{2}-3y)=-6y^{2}+3y-4-9y^{2}+3y=...$ Simplify by combining like terms: $...=-(6+9)y^{2}+(3+3)y-4=-15y^{2}+6y-4$
