Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf{24+12x}}

Explanation:

Hello.

The Distributive Property states that

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

Now that we know what the Distributive Property states, let's simplify our expression:

4(6+3x)

24+12x (I distributed 4 by multiplying it times 6 and 3x and simplifying)

This expression can't be simplified any further, because 24 and 12x are not like terms.

And we're done!

I hope it helps & have an outstanding day!
