Combine like terms:
-12 + 5a - a - 6a + 8a + 8 + 3a

5a - a = 4a
4a - 6a = -2a
-2a + 8a = 6a
6a + 3a = 9a
-12 + 8 = -4

So the “certain number” will be S.
Since 2width + 2length, the first part would be 2 times 2 which is 4
The length is S - 3
We then have to multiply this by 2
So it is 2(S-3) which is 2S-6
So the answer is 4+2S-6 which is 2S-2
