Answer:
-8x+12
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You need to distribute the (-1) from outside the bracket onto all the terms in the bracket, which includes (8x) and (-12). If there is a minus outside the bracket and one minus in the bracket, the operation would be a plus and vice versa. If there is a minus outside the bracket and one plus in the bracket, the operation would be a minus and vice versa.
- (8x - 12) = (-1) × (8x) + (-1) × (-12)
= -8x + (+12)
= -8x + 12
