Answer: 4b - a = 15

Step-by-step explanation: if you replace the variables with their equivalent counterparts you get the equation 4(7) - 12 = __ when you do the math make sure to do the parentheses first then subtract, just like in elementary school remember pemdas parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction. I hope this helps.
