Answer:

11x - 12

Explanation:

First, group like terms (numbers with a coefficient (x) together)

12x - 3x + 2x -10 -2

Next, use BODMAS (brackets, of, division, multiplication, addition, subtraction) to know the order to solve.

Addition is before subtraction so we do: -3x + 2x which is -x

12x - x - 10 -2

12x - x = 11x and -10 -2 ÷ -12 so final answer is:

11x -12

Hope I didn't overexplain :)
