Hey there! What we need to do here is to combine like terms. First terms: 8x + 4x = 12x Second terms: -2y + 4y = 2y Last terms: -6 (there’s only one of these) Putting it all together, we have: 12x + 2y - 6 This doesn’t match with any of the options given, however I see that the first option is cut off, so I assume that this is the first option. Your answer is a. 12x + 2y - 6 How this helps!
