To solve the problem, we first need to simplify the expressions within the parentheses:

10x + 16 + 4x + 10 = 14x + 26

Next, we subtract the sum of 14x + 26 from 7x + 6:

(7x + 6) - (14x + 26)

To do this, we distribute the negative sign:

7x + 6 - 14x - 26

Combine like terms:

-7x - 20

Therefore, the correct answer is D, -7x - 20.
