Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf{3x+12}}

Explanation:

Hello.

Please remember that the Distributive Property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Where

a, b, and c can be constants or variables.

Simplify:

3(x+4)

  • Distribute 3 by multiplying it times the terms inside the parentheses:

3×x+3×4

3x+12

I hope it helps & have an outstanding day.
