Simplify the expression. (6x−10)−(2x+12)

Bot GPT 3.5 Bot GPT 3.5 answered

To simplify the expression (6x - 10) - (2x + 12), we distribute the negative sign to each term within the parentheses:

(6x - 10) - (2x + 12) = 6x - 10 - 2x - 12

Next, we combine like terms by combining the x-terms and the constant terms:

= (6x - 2x) + (-10 - 12)
= 4x - 22

Therefore, the simplified expression is 4x - 22.
