Answer:

3x+12

Explanation:

Follow the PEMDAS/GEMDAS order. First, distribute the 2 to the numbers in the parenthesis:

2(x+6)-4+x

2x+16-4+x

Then, subtract the numbers without a variable (the numbers without x):

2x+16-4+x

2x+12+x

Then, add the variables together (the numbers with x):

2x+12+x

3x+12

Hope this is the answer you need.
