Simplify the expression and write the answer in factored form:

\[ 8a - 2b + 12a - 2a - 4b \]

8a+12a-2a=18a -2b-4b=-6b So the answer is 18a-6b

8 a − 2 b + 12 a − 2 a − 4 b = 8 a + 12 a − 2 a − 2 b − 4 b = 18 a − 6 b

The expression 8 a − 2 b + 12 a − 2 a − 4 b simplifies to 18 a − 6 b , which can be factored to 6 ( 3 a − b ) .
