$4$ $4$

Explanation:

There are two terms. Simplify each one separately and then add the answers together at the end.

Simplify the parentheses first, then multiply,

$2 (3 - 4) + 6$ $" "color(blue)(2(3-4)) " "color(green)(+" "6)$
$\times \times ↓$ $color(white)(xxxx)darr$
$= 2 (- 1) + 6$ $=color(blue)(2(-1)) " "color(green)(+" "6)$
$\times x ↓$ $color(white)(xxx)darr$
$= - 2 + 6$ $=color(blue)(-2) " "color(green)(+" "6)$

$= 4$ $=4$

$4$ $4$ - One must put in his/her mind that PEMDAS is not optional.

Explanation:

$2 (3 - 4) + 6$ $2(3-4)+6$

$= 2 \cdot (- 1) + 6$ $=2*(-1)+6$

$= - 2 + 6$ $=-2+6$

$= 4$ $=4$
