1 answer

To evaluate the expression given \( m = 2 \) and \( n = 2 \), we will compute each part of the expression separately.

  1. First expression: \( m + n - 12 \)

    Substituting the values of \( m \) and \( n \):

    \[ 2 + 2 - 12 = 4 - 12 = -8 \]

  2. Second expression: \( mn - m \)

    Again, substituting the values of \( m \) and \( n \):

    \[ (2)(2) - 2 = 4 - 2 = 2 \]

Now we can combine the results of both expressions:

\[ (m + n - 12) \text{ and } (mn - m) \]

Thus, we evaluate:

\[ -8 \text{ and } 2 \]

The final answer gives us the two resulting values:

\[ \text{Result: } -8 \text{, } 2 \]
