\mathbb{FINAL\;ANSWER:}


\huge\boxed{\sf{-48}}


\mathbb{SOLUTION:}

Hi! Hope you are having a nice day!

The Distributive Property tells us the following:

  • a(b+c)=ab+ac

In this case, we need to distribute 12 and then simplify:

12(2-6)

12 times 2 and -6:

24-72

-48

Hope you could comprehend everything.
