To simplify the expression \(67c - 59d - 12c + 13d\), we can combine like terms.

  1. Combine the terms with \(c\): \[ 67c - 12c = (67 - 12)c = 55c \]

  2. Combine the terms with \(d\): \[ -59d + 13d = (-59 + 13)d = -46d \]

Putting it all together, we get: \[ 55c - 46d \]

So the simplified expression is \(55c - 46d\).
