Answer:

12r-32

Explanation:

Distribute the 4 between the different numbers.

3r * 4 = 12r and 8 * 4 = 32

So...you end up with 12r-32

Hi! I hope you're enjoying your day!

Let's recall that the Distributive Property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Where

a, b, and c can be either constants (numbers like 4) or variables (letters like d)

Simplify:

4(3r-8)

4 times 3r is equal to 12r

12r- (4*8)


\boxed{\boxed{\bold{12r-32}}}

Hope everything is clear.

If you have any questions, please comment.
