$4y + 6$

Usually we have to get an answer for a bracket first, but in this case we can't because the terms inside the bracket are unlike.

But we can do multiplication using the distributive law.

Multiply the number in front of the bracket by each of the terms inside the bracket.

$(2xxcancel6^2y)/cancel3 + (2xxcancel9^3)/cancel3$

$= 4y + 6$
