Easiest way is to convert to all pounds:
6 tons = 12000 lbs
4 tons = 8000 lbs
13500
-9574
---------
3926 lbs = 1 ton 1926 lbs
Another method is to "borrow" one ton from the 6 and add it to the pounds, then do the math:
6 tons 1500 lbs
-4 tons 1574 lbs
equals
5 tons 3500 lbs
-4 tons 1574 lbs
---------------------
1 ton 1926 lbs

1 Short ton = 2000 pounds
6 x 2000 = 12000 Pounds
4 x 2000 = 8000 Pounds
12000 - 8000 = 4000 Pounds
The answer is 4000 pounds

First covert tons to lbs
1 ton = 2000 lbs
6tons x (2000lbs)/(1ton)= 12000lbs
4tons x (2000lbs)/(1ton)= 8000lbs
(12000lbs+1500pounds)- (8000lbs + 1574pounds)=
13500 lbs - 9574 lbs = 3926lbs
convert back to tons
? tons = (3936lbs)[(1ton)/(2000lbs)] = 1.963 tons
