    6 times j squared minus twice j squared

    j squared means we raise the variable j to the power of 2:
    j^2

    6 times j squared means we multiply j^2 by 6:
    6j^2

    Twice j squared means we multiply j^2 by 2:
    2j^2

    The word minus means we subtract 2j^2 from 6j^2
    6j^2 - 2j^2

    So if you must simplify, we group like terms and get:
    (6 - 2)j^2
    4j^2
