    The answer is 3x-12y because you combine the like terms so 2x+x=3x and - 8y-4y=-12y

    Answer: 3x - 12y

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to add both expressions, the times "from" and "to" school.

    Total time spent: time to school + time from school

    Mathematically speaking:

    x - 8y + 2x - 4y

    Adding alike terms:

    x + 2x - 8y - 4y = 3x - 12y

    In conclusion, the expression that represents the total time Henry spends commuting to and from school each day is 3x - 12y.
