To simplify the expression \((6x−10)−(2x+12)\), follow these steps:
1. Distribute the negative sign:
\[
6x - 10 - 2x - 12
\]
2. Combine like terms:
- Combine the \(x\) terms:
\[
6x - 2x = 4x
\]
- Combine the constant terms:
\[
-10 - 12 = -22
\]
So the simplified expression is:
\[
4x - 22
\]
The correct response is:
**4x−22**.
