$color(red)(2-9[4-(3y-6)]$

Based on PEMDAS, we solve the Parenteses first

$2-9*[4 - 3y + 6]$

$2-9*[10 - 3y]$

Then we perform the Multiplication using the Distributive Property

$2-[9*10 - 9*3y]$

$2-[90 - 27y]$

$2 - 90 + 27y$

$color(green)(-88 + 27y$ is the simplified form of $color(red)(2-9[4-(3y-6)]$
