First of all, we know that multiplication goes before addition but, there’s are 2 parts for multiplying, so just go from left to right, which in this case (4x3) +4x; 4x3=12 is first and when u multiply a number with x, it will translate to ( in this case)...4•x=4x... the goal of this problem is to simplify the expression so it would simply be 12+4x
