Answer 2

Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

`a-3b+4`

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Simplifying the Equation...}}\\\\(1)/(2)(2a-6b+8)\\----------------\\\rightarrow(1)/(2)* 2a = a\\\\ \rightarrow(1)/(2)*-6b = -3b\\\\\rightarrow(1)/(2)*8 = 4\\\\\text{\underline{Therefore:}}\\\\(1)/(2)(2a-6b+8)\rightarrow \boxed{a-3b+4}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻
