Solution Steps

Step 1: Define the Expressions

We start with the two expressions given in the problem: \[ \text{expr1} = 2ab + 9a - 4 \] \[ \text{expr2} = ab + 2 \]

Step 2: Distribute the Negative Sign

Next, we distribute the negative sign to the second expression: \[ (2ab + 9a - 4) - (ab + 2) = 2ab + 9a - 4 - ab - 2 \]

Step 3: Combine Like Terms

Now, we combine the like terms: \[ (2ab - ab) + 9a + (-4 - 2) = ab + 9a - 6 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{ab + 9a - 6}\)
