We will foil the expression, meaning we will multiply 4 by x and then add 4 times 3

4(x+3) = 4x + 12

So our final answer will be B

Hey there!


4(x + 3)

= 4(1x + 3)


DISTRIBUTE 4 WITHIN the PARENTHESES

= 4(1x) + 4(3)


= 4(x) + 4(3)


= 4x + 12


Therefore, your answer is:

Option B. 4x + 12


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
