To find an expression that has the same sum as \( -12 + 4 \), let's first calculate \( -12 + 4 \):

\[ -12 + 4 = -8 \]

Now we need to check which of the given options equals \( -8 \).

  1. \( 12 + 4 \) = 16
  2. \( 12 + (-4) \) = 8
  3. \( -4 + (-12) \) = -16
  4. \( -4 + (-12) \) = -16 (duplicate)
  5. \( 4 + (-12) \) = -8

The expression that equals \( -8 \) is \( 4 + (-12) \).

So, the correct response is:

4 + (−12)
