Answer 1

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.
