Answer 1

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

\(-12 + 4 = -8\).

Now let's evaluate each of the given options to see which one also equals \(-8\):

1. **\(-4 + (-12)\)**:
\[
-4 + (-12) = -4 - 12 = -16
\]

2. **\(4 + (-12)\)**:
\[
4 + (-12) = 4 - 12 = -8
\]

3. **\(12 + 4\)**:
\[
12 + 4 = 16
\]

4. **\(12 + (-4)\)**:
\[
12 + (-4) = 12 - 4 = 8
\]

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

Therefore, the correct answer is \(4 + (-12)\).
