Step 1)
Distribute the constant across each term's corresponding parenthesis outside each one:
( ( 2 3 x ) + ( 2 4 ) ) - ( ( 3 4 x ) - ( 3 5 ) )
( 6 x + 8 ) - ( 12 x - 15 )
Step 2)
Remove the parenthesis, manage the signs correctly, and then group terms that are similar.
6 x + 8 - 12 x + 15
6 x - 12 x + 8 + 15
Step 3) Combine like terms:
( 6 - 12 ) x + 23
- 6 x + 23
