Answer: False

Explanation:

If the question is relating to equality, your answer currently is incorrect.
If we solve both sides of the ( + ) we have :

2(n + 6) = 2n + 12

2n + 12 + n + 6 = 3n + 18

Therefore, the two that are equal are 2(n + 6) + (n + 6) and 3n + 18.

There is also another set of expressions that are equal:

2n + 2 + n + 4 = 3n + 6
