The negative in front of the brackets changes each sign within the brackets.

Firstly you want to get rid of the brackets. Because there is a negative sign in front of the 2nd bracket, you change the sign of everything in that bracket. The first bracket will stay the same.
= -6r -2s +r +3s
Look at the 'r' numbers & the 's' numbers serparetly.
-6r +1r = -5r
-2s +3s= 1s
Put these together & your answer is -5r +s

Easiest way to get rid of the brackets first;
if you have -(- that's turns to a + AND if you have -(+ that's a -
-6r-2s+r+3s
Second step is to make the calculation with the numbers which have r and s
-5r+s

Use distributive property:
-6r-2s+r+3s
Combine like terms:
-5r+s

Distribute -1 through the second parenthesis's values:
-6r-2s+r+3s
Add the two "r's":
-5r-2s+3s
Add the two "s's":
-5r+s

(- 6r - 2s) - (- r - 3s)
= - 6r - 2s + r + 3s
= - 5r + s

(-6r - 2s) - (-r - 3s) = -6r - 2s + r + 3s = -5r + s
