Explanation:

Step1: Remove parentheses

We have \((-x^2 - 6x - 3)+(-4x - 7)\). Removing the parentheses gives \(-x^2 - 6x - 3 - 4x - 7\).

Step2: Combine like terms

For the \(x\) terms: \(-6x-4x=-10x\). For the constant terms: \(-3 - 7=-10\). The \(x^2\) term remains as \(-x^2\). So combining like terms gives \(-x^2-10x - 10\).

Answer:

\(-x^2 - 10x - 10\)
