Answer:


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

Explanation:

Hello.

Please keep in mind that the Distributive Property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac (where a, b, and c can be either variables or constants)

Now, what about the given expression?

Let's simplify the given expression:

3(x+4)

3x+12

Can we simplify it any further? No.

Why? Because variables (x's) and constants (numbers) are not like terms.

Therefore, 3x+12 is our final answer.

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
