4n – 12 – 6n = _____

Question

A.
–4n + 8
B.
–2n – 12
C.
4n – 8
D.
2n – 12

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \(4n - 12 - 6n\), we can combine like terms.

1. Combine the \(n\) terms: \[ 4n - 6n = -2n \]

2. The constant term remains as: \[ -12 \]

Putting it all together, we get: \[ 4n - 12 - 6n = -2n - 12 \]

Thus, the expression simplifies to \( -2n - 12 \).

The correct answer is B. –2n – 12.
