$= 6 n - 4$ $= 6n - 4$

$\frac{1}{2} (12 n - 8)$ $1/2 ( 12n - 8)$

$= \frac{1}{2} \cdot (12 n - 8)$ $= color(blue)(1/2) * ( 12n - 8)$

$= \frac{1}{2} \cdot (12 n) + \frac{1}{2} \cdot (- 8)$ $= color(blue)(1/2) * ( 12n) + color(blue)(1/2) * ( - 8)$

$= color(blue)(1/cancel2) * ( cancel12n) + color(blue)(1/cancel2) * ( - cancel8)$

$= 6n - 4$
